Jodie Whittaker — things you didn't know about the Toxic Town star

Jodie Whittaker attends the Royal Television Society Programme Awards 2024 at The Grosvenor House Hotel .

Jodie Whittaker is one of Britain's best-known actresses and made TV history in 2017 as the first woman to play the full-time role of Doctor Who. After delighting audiences for five years, Jodie's tenure as the 13th incarnation of the Time Lord came to an end in 2022.

Jodie described her experience of being the Doctor as something “you’ve just got to treasure”, adding: “You are a tiny drop in the ocean of Doctor Who. This family grows, and it’ll be bigger than us, and it’ll go on. Ncuti will be extraordinary, and his performance will be so magical. Now we get to sit back and enjoy it as the fans that we can be, knowing whatever is to come, we were once a part of that.”
