Twitter and Facebook are alight with rumours that Elisabeth Sladen has passed away.
The Doctor Who star, who is best known as Sarah Jane Smith and also stars in the spin off CBBC show The Sarah Jane Adventures, is said to have passed away earlier today.
The actress was a regular on BBC’s Doctor Who with both Jon Pertwee and Tom Baker, and has reprised her role many times. She first joined the sci-fi show in 1973 and stayed on for three and a half seasons, before leaving in 1976.
Sources say the 63 year old star died because of complications arising from a battle with cancer.
This has not yet been confirmed, so more news to follow.
