The end of Jodie Whittaker\u2019s tenure in the TARDIS is fast approaching, and she\u2019s not okay about it.<\/p>\n

Her final episode, Doctor Who: The Power of the Doctor<\/a>, is set to air later this month, but Whittaker finished shooting it in October last year. Still, 12 months of preparing for the moment she would hand over the mantle<\/del> coattails doesn\u2019t make it any easier, it would seem.<\/p>\n

Speaking on The Zoe Ball Breakfast Show<\/a> this morning (Tuesday 11th October), Whittaker opened up about how she\u2019s feeling now that her time as Thirteen is officially coming to an end.<\/p>\n

\u201cWell, you know what, it\u2019s been such an emotional rollercoaster,\u201d Whittaker said. \u201cI finished filming this episode in October last year, so I\u2019ve had a whole year to get my head round leaving, and I\u2019m still not there.\u201d<\/p>\n

She added: \u201cI\u2019m still crying about it, I\u2019m still clinging on to the coattail, reluctantly handing over the shoes. I\u2019ve still got a couple of weeks to just, you know, enjoy the moment. I think it\u2019s a celebration of it, because you\u2019re so emotional, it was amazing. But it\u2019s only a good thing to end something and be reef with it because it was such a wonderful experience.\u201d<\/p>\n

Whittaker\u2019s upcoming swan song marks the franchise\u2019s centenary<\/a>, with many guest appearances \u2013 and a few surprises \u2013 planned to celebrate ahead of Ncuti Gatwa<\/a> taking over next year.<\/p>\n
