When it comes to picking the next Doctor Who, the Bookies seem to be a fickle bunch as last week one established star was tipped to be the new time travelling hero, and now an up-and-coming actress is expected to land the dream role.
Just a week ago, 44-year-old Danny Dyer was the Bookies top tip to land the coveted role – but now they are backing 28-year-old Lydia West for the part.
The actress has become well known in the past year thanks to her role in Channel 4’s hit drama It’s A Sin – which was written by Doctor Who showrunner Russell T Davies.
