Via Daily Mail

Jodie Whittaker looked in good spirits as she filmed scenes for Doctor Who alongside her co-star John Bishop in Liverpool on Monday.

The actress, 38, was seen laughing and joking with members of the crew as she stood alongside the TARDIS while filming an evening scene.

Fans of the programme were sent wild when passers-by in Liverpool claimed they saw former show star Catherine Tate in the city, prompting speculation she could be returning to the sci-fi series.

However, the report does add:

Other users insisted the comedian would not be returning to the series.

One said: ‘Catherine Tate is in Liverpool to film a new comedy series for Channel 4 and just happens to be good friends with fellow comic John Bishop. She isn’t filming Doctor Who’.
