By Josh Haggis
Rising popstar Foxes will make her acting debut in the upcoming eighth series of Doctor Who.
The Southampton-born singer – real name Louisa Rose Allen – will perform a song during her appearance, though it’s currently unknown whether she will appear as herself or as a fictional character.
“I was playing a gig and got chatting to the show’s production team who’d been watching my performance,” the 25-year-old said in a press release.
“I was telling them how much I loved Doctor Who and next thing they invited me to be on it. I couldn’t think of a better place to make my acting debut than on one of the UK’s most iconic shows!”
Steven Moffat, executive producer of the iconic BBC show, added: “We are completely thrilled that the amazingly talented Foxes is joining us on board….well, you’ll see. Let’s just say, the Doctor is finally catching up on his phone calls.”
Earlier this month the BBC released a teaser trailer for the new series of Doctor Who, featuring a brief glimpse of the new Doctor, Peter Capaldi – click here to watch it.
Foxes’ debut album Glorious charted at number five last month (April) and has already spawned the top 20 hits Youth, Let Go for Tonight and Holding onto Heaven.
