Doctor Who's Jodie Whittaker can't talk about her exit without bursting into tears

Jodie Whittaker cannot talk about her Doctor Who exit without bursting into tears, but says die-hard fans are in for a "huge treat" when they see her big finale.

The actress, 40, will bow out of her role as the Thirteenth Doctor in centenary special episode The Power of the Doctor in October, and the star was delighted with the "simple, epic, and beautiful" dialogue for her regeneration scenes, when her Time Lord transforms into the Fourteenth Doctor, who will be played by Sex Education star Ncuti Gatwa.

Jodie's one-take regeneration scene ended up being the final one she ever filmed as the Doctor, and the star "f***ing lost it" emotionally as the cameras stopped rolling.
