MTV EMAs 2021: Olly Alexander ‘so flattered’ over Doctor Who rumours as fans pitch for him to replace Jodie Whittaker

metro.co.uk:

Olly Alexander has finally addressed the rumours he’s set to star in Doctor Who. The Years & Years singer got a taste for acting in the critically acclaimed series It’s A Sin and it was recently reported he’s a favourite to replace Jodie Whittaker in BBC One’s long-running hit.

Speaking to Metro.co.uk about the rumours at the MTV EMAs 2021 on Sunday, the singer said: ‘I was so flattered and inspired by that but I’m definitely not the next Doctor Who.

It’s an amazing show and I was quite flattered that people thought I might be able to do it.’ While we wait to find out if Olly will become the next Doctor, fans can see him on screens much sooner as he’ll be appearing in the Great British Bake Off Christmas special this December.
