The stars of Doctor Who took on the show’s emoji quiz ahead of tonight’s penultimate episode, with John Bishop playfully teasing Mandip Gill after she fails to guess his character correctly.

Doctor Who: Flux’s Jodie Whittaker, who plays the Doctor, competed against Gill (Yaz) and Bishop (Dan) in a challenge where they each had to guess a word or character associated with the show from a line of emojis.

While all three managed to end the game with a score of five, Bishop feigned offence when Gill guessed the emojis of a man, a football and a red scarf were referring to Graham O’Brien – the Doctor’s companion from series 11 and 12 played by Bradley Walsh.

When the answer was revealed to be Bishop’s character Dan Lewis, the comedian said: “Oh no! That’s what I’ve lived with all the way through this.”

“♟????‍♂️???? ????????‍????????????‼️”
