Before stepping aboard the TARDIS, newDoctor WhocompanionMillie Gibsongot some helpful advice from aWhoalum.
I just expressed my love and admiration, and I did get a reply from her!
She was like, Im so sorry!

Ive just figured out my Instagram DMs!
But she was really lovely, and she gave me such down-to-earth wise words.
Its such a unique role, so your experience is very much like no other.

Itll be a nice little memory for my first audition afterCorrie,and Ill never hear of it again.
And that was the start of a long journey, and its been a whirlwind ever since.
Me and Ncuti have a similar relationship to the Doctor and Ruby, which really helps.
Its just constant laughter and platonic best friends.

If we were at school together, we would be such trouble, Gatwa adds.
The teachers would never allow us to sit together.
Were curious and wed be looking for an adventure somewhere in the room.
And I was like: That is the vibe I want for the Doctor.
(Andoractress Varada Sethu is also confirmed to join Gibson and Gatwa in the TARDIS in season 2.)
Her family definitely structures her beliefs and her positivity.
Because that was me when I was younger.
