The story of how Doctor Who and Clara Oswald met
The Victoria actress is believed to be rejoining the Doctor as his former companion Clara Oswald to give him a “proper send-off”.
“Jenna Coleman has agreed to film something new as Clara,” an insider revealed.
“It’s become a tradition now for the companions to reappear as the Doctor regenerates and Jenna isn’t letting the side down.”
Previous regenerations have seen the likes of Billie Piper return as Rose Tyler when David Tenant left in 2009 while Karen Gillan reprised her role as Amy Pond for Matt Smith’s departure in 2013.
