Doctor Who star Ncuti Gatwa has been confirmed for an appearance on The Graham Norton Show, with the actor part of a stacked line-up.

For the episode on Friday October 11, Gatwa will talk about his stint in the TARDIS and his upcoming role on the stage in The Importance of Being Earnest, which gets underway in November.

He'll be joined on the famous red sofa by Zoe Saldaña, who has appeared in the Marvel, Avatar and Star Trek franchises.

The star, who played Gamora in the Guardians of the Galaxy series, will be joined by her Emilia Pérez co-star Selena Gomez, with the pair chatting about the upcoming musical.

The final celebrity in the line-up will be Miranda Hart, with the comedian set to discuss her life ahead of the release of her memoir, I Haven't Been Entirely Honest with You.

One notable aspect of the newest series was the emphasis on costuming, which Gatwa spoke to Digital Spy about earlier this year.

“The Doctor's travelled throughout time and space. He's been to a few thrift shops. He's got a large, large wardrobe. You will see a lot of outfits," he said.

“Pam Downe is our costume designer. She is incredible. She is a force of nature and just amazing. She would just present us with the most incredible designs and then we get to talk to her and we can choose and obviously we would speak about the episode and what is going to be needed practically but also what makes us look hot. It's an important part.”

Doctor Who airs on BBC One in the UK and Disney+ elsewhere. Classic episodes of Doctor Who are available on BBC iPlayer in the UK. The Graham Norton Show airs on Fridays on BBC One.
