Doctor Who spoiler: Russell T Davies CONFIRMS new Time Lord 'I know who it is'

When Peter Capaldi announced he would be stepping down from his titular role in Doctor Who back in January, speculation has been rife about who his replacement would be. 

Now former head writer Davies has announced that he knows who has been chosen to play the next incarnation of the Doctor.

“Having worked on it, I’m leaving it to them. It’s like me asking you about the job you did five years ago,” he told former Big Brother star Andy West on his AndyVision YouTube channel. 

Although remaining tight-lipped on the identity of the chosen figure, West asked Davies to “not shake his head if the new Doctor was younger than Capaldi”. 

The writer, 54, tantalisingly didn’t shake his head which surely means the chosen name is younger than the 12th incarnation. 

Little is known about the identity of the new Doctor, but it was recently rumoured that Death In Paradise star, Kris Marshall had already been cast in the role. 

A source told The Mirror: “Kris Marshall has already joined the cast and will regenerate at the end of this series, not in the Christmas special. 

“They won’t risk a woman Doctor. They want a David Tennant type,” they added. 

However at the time, the BBC revealed that no casting decisions had been made for season 11 of the hit Sci-Fi show.

Express.co.uk has reached out to a representative from the BBC to comment on the latest rumours.

Doctor Who continues next Saturday on BBC One at 6.45pm.
