The actress will appear in a 10-week series on BBC One alongside companions played by Bradley Walsh, Mandip Gill and Tosin Cole.

The picture is released a day after Christopher Eccleston, who portrayed the Doctor when the programme made its 2005 revival, publicly lauded the new casting choice.

The 53-year-old told ITV's Lorraine on Wednesday: "It had to change. God knows how much money it makes for the BBC - they needed to reinvent it, and they could not have chosen somebody better."
