Jodie Whittaker on The Graham Norton Show Tonight
Whittaker tells Norton: “I went to what I thought was just a final audition and a chat with all the grownups. I was being all steely and when they told me the part was mine, I just started crying. They started telling me lots of important things about the role and all I could think was, ‘I really want to WhatsApp someone.'”
Asked what it was like becoming the Doctor, she says, “I felt joy, fear and responsibility to the fans.”
On being the first female Doctor, she says, “It is ridiculous that it is such a big deal in 2018. But, it is an exciting moment and I can always say I was the first!”
The Graham Norton Show airs Friday 28th September 10.35pm on BBC One.
