Jenna Coleman has shared her thoughts on whether there will ever be a female Doctor Who, saying she thinks there's no reason why there won’t be.

Speaking at Comic-Con, Jenna praised the current Time Lord Peter Capaldi, before speculating on who could take over if he left the show.

When quizzed on whether a female actress could take on the part, she replied: "I think it's absolutely possible. There's no reason why not.

"I think Peter Capaldi is doing the most wonderful job so there's not currently a vacancy."

Peter agreed with his co-star, adding that he “absolutely” thinks a female Doctor should, and will, happen.

"I would expect it at any moment. If you turn around right now I might suddenly transform,” he joked.
