WORLD EXCLUSIVE: MILLIE GIBSON INTERVIEW
In a world-exclusive interview, Millie Gibson talks
about playing new companion Ruby Sunday, what it’s like acting alongside
Fifteenth Doctor Ncuti Gatwa, and how she discovered she’d secured the role:
“I went to get a spray tan for the NTAs [National Television Awards], and I was
in the room waiting to dry off when I got this WhatsApp call, asking me to join
the call with all my agents. I picked up the phone and they were like, ‘Are you
good at keeping secrets?’ I said, ‘Yeah.’ They said, ‘Are you really good at
keeping secrets? Cos you’ve got it.”
