Lily Connors, 11, has collected 6,641 items from the show.

The youngster has been hooked on the adventures of the Time Lord since she was three and has turned her bedroom into a shrine to the sci-fi hit.

Lily exterminated the previous Guinness world record set by Ian O’Brien, 57, who hoarded more than 1,573 items of memorabilia.

The young fan, from Swansea, said: “When I broke the record it was awesome. It was the best thing ever.

“I showed all of my friends, and they couldn’t believe it. They were shocked I got a world record. My friends like Doctor Who, but I absolutely love it.”

The fanatic’s collection has cost about £2,000 and includes gifts from family, pals and members of the cast.

Her dad Tom, 54, gave her his old action figures including a white Dalek and a Cyberman.

He also built his daughter a Tardis wardrobe that has been signed by current Doctor, Peter Capaldi, 58, who is set to quit later this year.

Lily added: “My favourite part of my collection is my Tardis wardrobe.

“I have met cast members and have been to watch the show being filmed, too. All I want for Christmas and my birthday is Doctor Who presents.”

The family, including Lily’s brother Ryan, five, sister Rhianna, seven, and 30-year-old stepbrother Tom, watch the show.

Her mum Charlotte, 31, said: “We loved the show but for Lily it was life-changing. By the time she was 10 her room had become a shrine.”
