The 40-year-old actress will bow out of the series during the upcoming BBC centenary episode in October and she is set to honour former Doctor Who actors in her final outing.

A source told the Mirror: "Getting Jodie - and some others - to wear some of the best-loved items from the Doctors' wardrobes over the decades, seems a fitting and perfect way to mark the BBC's 100 year anniversary."

Meanwhile, it was previously revealed that Ncuti Gatwa will begin filming for 'Doctor Who' in November.

The 'Sex Education' star was unveiled as the Fourteenth Doctor by returning showrunner Russell T. Davies in May and The Hollywood Reporter claims that he will get the keys to the TARDIS by the end of this year.

Ncuti's first full series as the Doctor is unlikely to air until 2024.

The decision to cast Gatwa as the Time Lord has been praised as "sensational" by Matt Smith - who portrayed the Eleventh Doctor.

The 39-year-old star said: "I think it’s the most sensational bit of casting.

"What an actor – he’s brilliant in 'Sex Education'.

"I think he’s got something ‘other’ that that part really needs."

Smith added: "I think it's an inspired piece of casting, and along with Russell [T. Davies, showrunner], who's such a great leader of that show.

"I don't know if you've seen him in 'Sex Education', there's a warmth and wit and a real depth to his talent that I think ... honestly, I think it's an inspired bit of casting and I'm really, really excited for the show."
