Millie Gibson spotted filming Dr Who as Bristol is disguised as Notting Hill

Millie Gibson was seen out and about in character for Doctor Who Christmas special, filming scenes in Bristol.

But the West Country city had been transformed into Notting Hill, London for the shoot, complete with the area’s iconic pastel-coloured front doors.

The Coronation Street actor stars as Ruby Tuesday in the drama, penned by It’s a Sin’s Russell T Davies, alongside Ncuti Gatwa as the Time Lord.

The 18-year-old sported a tartan skirt and black boots, which were matched with a shearling leather jacket and red jumper.

Millie was also clutching a brown paper and tote bag, suggesting her character had popped out to the shops.

The star’s blonde hair was cut to above shoulder-length and she looked in high spirits.

It comes shortly after Millie was seen filming for the first time in Wales, wearing a similar outfit of a tartan-patterned coat, with red, blue, brown and black stripes.

When it was announced that Millie would be joining Doctor Who, she said that she was in ‘total disbelief’ and felt ‘beyond honoured’ to have been given the role.

‘It is a gift of a role, and a dream come true, and I will do everything to try and fill the boots the fellow companions have travelled in before me,’ she said at the time.

‘And what better way to do that than being by the fabulous Ncuti Gatwa’s side, I just can’t wait to get started.’

Ncuti added: ‘Millie just is the companion. She is full of talent, strength, she has a cheeky sparkle in her eye and is sharp as a razor.

‘From the moment she walked into the room she captured all of our attention with her effervescence and then solidified that attention with the sheer torque of her talent.

‘This adventure is going to be so wild and so fun, I cannot WAIT to sail the universe with Millie!’

Doctor Who returns to the BBC later this year.
