Fans say Ncuti Gatwa will be “amazing” as the new Doctor Who – as they praised the BBC for casting an LGBTQ+ icon in the role.
The Rwandan-Scottish actor, who is best known for playing gay character Eric in Netflix ’s Sex Education, will become the 14th Time Lord.
Although Ncuti has never discussed his own sexuality publicly, he said in an interview with Attitude magazine "no one should ever be ashamed of it".
