Jodie Whittaker says it was really tough for her to keep her lips sealed on the Doctor Who casting details.

"I didn't know the exact details but I knew there was going to be an attempt at a brilliant reveal and I got so super paranoid in the lead-up to it. I would panic because I couldn't remember what I was told and what I wasn't allowed to say. I knew the big reveal would happen in July and they wanted it to be an amazing moment for me.

"So I was lying to everyone left, right and centre. My husband was the only one who knew. But I became so paranoid. I became a massive narcissist thinking everyone was talking about you. I would even whisper in my flat because I was worried someone would hear me. I was so melodramatic!" she says.
Doctor Who series 11, starring Jodie, is expected to launch in late 2018.
