David Tennant and Catherine Tate may now be confirmed to be back for Doctor Who\u2019s 60th anniversary<\/a> next year, but there was a time when Tate\u2019s return to the show was rumoured to be for the now aired season 13, subtitled Flux.<\/p>\n

That was because rumours had flown around that Tate was supposedly spotted in Liverpool<\/a> at the same time as the long-running sci-fi show was filming there, with a representative for Tate telling RadioTimes.com<\/a> at the time: \u201cI can confirm Catherine is very much not in Liverpool and is not on [the] DR WHO set.\u201d<\/p>\n

Now, it seems the mystery has finally been solved, as producer on the show Nikki Wilson has explained all to this month\u2019s issue of Doctor Who Magazine<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Wilson explained: \u201cThere were all these rumours that Catherine was back in the show \u2013 but it turned out it was just a picture of me on set.\u201d<\/p>\n

The magazine goes on to explain that the two have vaguely similar hair, accounting for the confusion.<\/p>\n
