So, is Stacey Dooley going to be the Fourteenth Doctor? Well, probably not, but she is playing the Doctor on this week’s Strictly Come Dancing! Announced on It Takes Two!  yesterday (24 October 2018), Stacey will take on the part of Jodie Whittaker in a tango to the Doctor Who theme, with partner Kevin as a Cyberman. The routine will reflect the Doctor’s gender switch by Stacey taking the lead in the dance. The clip of the announcement is available on several newspaper website, including The Metro: Stacey Dooley to dance as Doctor Who’s Jodie Whittaker.

It’s not the first link between the two shows, with fans complaining about Strictly trailers over the end credits for Doctor Who, and Jay McGuinness channeled his inner Fourth Doctor back in the 2015 semi-final of Strictly complete with TARDIS prop, but no theme tune: Jay McGuiness Becomes Doctor Who For ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ Semi-Finals.
