Former Coronation Street star Millie Gibson couldn't have looked further away from the cobbles as she was spotted filming for the new series of Doctor Who. But it wasn't just the cobbles as the actress also appeared a million miles away from everyone's current reality as Christmas came early.
Millie, who played teenage tearaway Kelly Neelan in the ITV soap, was snapped filming Christmas-themed scenes for the hit BBC One show on Tuesday (February 7) alongside co-star Anita Dobson. It was revealed in November that the 18-year-old had been given the role of the new companion, alongside the 15th Doctor, played by Sex Education’s Ncuti Gatwa.
Speaking of her new role, Millie said at the time: "Whilst still being in total disbelief, I am beyond honoured to be cast as the Doctor’s companion. It is a gift of a role, and a dream come true, and I will do everything to try and fill the boots the fellow companions have travelled in before me. And what better way to do that than being by the fabulous Ncuti Gatwa’s side, I just can’t wait to get started."
