Ex-Doctor 'getting old'

The Chronicle

July 14, 2025

DOCTOR WHO star Ncuti Gatwa said he quit the long-running BBC show because "I'm getting old and my body was tired".

The Rwandan-Scottish actor, 32, whose breakout role was Eric Effiong in Netflix hit Sex Education, played the Time Lord for two series after first appearing in a 60th anniversary special with the 10th and 14th incarnations of the Doctor, David Tennant.

In May, during his final episode as the 15th Doctor, Gatwa appeared to be replaced by former Doctor Who companion Billie Piper when his character regenerated.

Gatwa told the BBC's Sunday With Laura Kuenssberg programme: "I'm getting old, and my body was tired... and I've now just started doing some ballet, so I'm making really great decisions.
