Doctor Who: Mandip Gill lifts lid on Yaz and Time Lord romance in Easter special
Devoted fans were over the moon to see the relationship between the 13th Doctor (Jodie Whittaker) and Yaz (Mandip) addressed in Eve of the Daleks, after Dan Lewis (John Bishop) urged the pair to profess their feelings for one another.
Although Yaz made the first move, viewers are desperate to see how their relationship plays out in the spring special – and we hope it’s going to be a happy ending.
Without giving too much away, the 34-year-old actress confirmed the highly-anticipated moment will be addressed, and that’s as much as she’s willing to give away at the moment.
‘So I won’t tell you which way it goes. But we obviously have to touch on that again, it wouldn’t make sense not to,’ she told RadioTimes.com
‘I mean that’s in the midst of everything else that’s going on. And you know, the sword fight with the Sea Devils and all that kind of stuff,’ she added.
‘They’re coming straight for us!’ Dan frets, while a confused Doctor replies: ‘That’s impossible!’
Mandip recently revealed she suffered a nasty finger injury as she fended off monsters during filming, as fans will see her character involved in a dramatic sword-fighting sequence.
‘It didn’t go down very well,’ she joked.
‘I was like, “This sword is really heavy. And I’ve hurt my finger now. Shall we stop?”‘
Russell T Davies, who rebooted Doctor Who in 2005, is returning for a second stint as showrunner, but TV bosses remain tight-lipped over who will be taking on the titular role next.
Olly Alexander, Lydia West, Michael Sheen, and Jo Martin have been tipped as favourites, and even Hugh Grant, aka the King of British rom-coms, was rumoured to take on the role.
However, the actor insisted that it’s not him.
Legend of the Sea Devils arrives on April 17 on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
