The 13th Doctor, Jodie Whittaker is all set to be joined by three specking new companions including ex-'Hollyoaks' star Mandip Gill. Gill said she was more than happy to join the “iconic” show. She exclaimed, “I am over the moon to be joining the Doctor Who family. This is an iconic show with an amazing fanbase and I look forward to everything that brings.” She will be joined by fellow new cast regulars Bradley Walsh, and Tosin Cole. Sharon D Clarke will be in a returning role.
Gill added, “Certain roles seem unattainable and this is one of those, so much so I didn't believe it to be true for the first few weeks.” From Leeds, the 29 year old is best known for her work as Phoebe McQueen, her TV debut in 'Hollyoaks' in 2012. Since then she has appeared in Cuckoo, The Good Karma Hospital, Doctors and Casualty. Gill said, “To be working alongside the likes of Jodie, Bradley and my old friend Tosin is thrilling. This show is worlds away from the work I’ve done previously and that’s the part that excites me the most.” She will play Yasmin, Walsh will star as Graham, and Cole will play Ryan.
