Jodie Whittaker reckons starring in Doctor Who has helped her time-travel back to her twenties by making her feel 15 years younger.
As she makes her final outing as the 13th Doctor, the actress, who became the first female to land the role in 2017, said the Doctor’s energy and excitement spreads into her real life.
“Before I played the Doctor I spent quite a lot of time playing people who lost children, people whose husband had been disabled - you don’t realise how much that emotional trauma leaves you on the edge of upset when you’ve been doing it for 12-hour days,” she explained.
