Doctor Who companion Jenna Coleman has quit the time-travelling sci-fi series – to spend more time in the 19th Century.

Jenna – time and space-hopping Clara Oswald – has landed a major role as Queen Victoria in a £10million ITV drama.

The glamorous actress , 29, will play the monarch from when she became queen as a frumpy 18-year-old in 1837, through the early part of her 63-year reign.

A source said: “Jenna clinching the role has been a closely guarded secret. There’s a lot of excitement about the series.”

ITV hope the eight-part epic will give them a ratings hit like Downton Abbey.

I'm always initially sceptical when these stories about the actors playing the Doctor or the companions quitting come out since there have been quite a few false alarms, but if she's got this new show then it's probably true.

I love Clara so it's a shame, but I'm always excited about a new companion too.

Let's not forget they actually fueled the rumour mill last year to make us think she was leaving at the end of S8... and then Christmas... lol

Loving Capaldi... Hated Clara
She is my least favourite companion. I didn't even want to see her back this season

I hated clara in her first series but this lady series I really grew to her. But well done to Jenna for landing that Role i will be watching for sure.

[armand.kay]

I really, really, really hope the next companion isn't a modern day human.

I would love a series where the doctor picks up a few people thought the series and ends up with a group of companions thats something from the classic series that I really love.
