CATHERINE Tate has revealed she could return to Doctor Who.

The 48-year-old played the Doctor’s companion Donna Noble from 2006 to 2010 opposite David Tennant.

Catherine’s last episode saw her character’s memory wiped by the Doctor, in order to protect her from burning up her head.

With Donna’s memories of the Doctor entirely wiped, Doctor Who fans have always felt there’s no hope of getting Donna back on the show.

But, speaking on Lorraine, the comedian has revealed she could return to the BBC TV show if writers work around it.

She said: “I don’t know if I could return with the way Donna’s storyline went.

“Unless they go back in the TARDIS to before I came into it.

“That’s how we get me back on!”

Catherine also confessed how shocked she is when she meets Doctor Who fans in far-flung parts of the world.

She said: “You don’t realise the far-reaching arms of Doctor Who until you’re in a Walmart in West Virgina and someone comes up to you and asks you if you’re Donna Noble.

“I say yes even though she’s a character, not actually me.

“I could’ve just stepped out the TARDIS!”

Peter Capaldi is starring as the current Doctor, alongside Pearl Mackie, who replaced Jenna Coleman as his companion.

But Peter – who has played the iconic character since 2014 – recently admitted he is unsure of his future on the show.

“I’ve been asked to stay on, but it’s such a long time before I have to make that decision,” he told the Radio Times.

“Steven’s been wonderful, so I love working with him. Chris is fantastic and he’s a hugely talented guy.

“I don’t know where the show’s gonna go then. I don’t know,” he added.
