Billie Piper in the Doctor Who season finale

Billie Piper has opened up about why Doctor Who is “completely different” to how it was 20 years ago.

The Scoop actor shocked and delighted fans when she made an unexpected return to the franchise in last season’s finale, as Ncuti Gatwa’s Doctor seemingly regenerated into a new incarnation played by Billie.

The actor famously starred in the Whoniverse from 2005 as Rose Tyler, the companion to Christopher Eccleston’s Ninth Doctor.

Following the surprise twist, fans are now speculating over whether the I Hate Suzie star will indeed be joining the show as the new Doctor.
