FORMER EastEnders' star Rakhee Thakrar is being tipped as the next Doctor Who companion.
The actress, who won acclaim for her role as Shabnam Masood in the BBC soap, has been lined up for an audition with the show's producers, reports RadioTimes.com.
The 32-year-old's performance in EastEnders was nominated for the National Television Award for Best Serial Performance following a heartbreaking storyline that saw her deliver a stillborn baby.
She quit Albert Square last month in emotional scenes that saw on-screen partner Kush begging her character Shabnam not to leave Walford.
