Jodie Whittaker looked sensational as she cut a smart figure while heading to the BBC Radio Studios on Thursday.

Keeping her blazer jacket buttoned up, the star carried her essentials in a faded floral tote bag.
Staying practical she completed the look with some white trainers as she displayed her bare ankles in the cropped trousers.

The popular sci-fi franchise is returning to screens on Saturday for the impressive anniversary milestone which will see David Tennant reprise his role as the Doctor.
While Jodie isn’t due to appear in the 60th anniversary special episode, the first of which airs this Saturday, the star made history after becoming the first female Time Lord in 2017.
She portrayed the eponymous Time Lord on-screen for four years, and bowed out of the sci-fi series in her last episode in October 2022.
The series was expected to be an instant hit as she brought the show up to speed with modern times, but the highly anticipated episodes were highly criticised throughout.
It has been said that her tenure struggled to live up to the hype and her potential as the show’s script was criticised many times over the years.
But her close relationship with her companion Yaz helped keep viewers glued to the screens as the pair were shipped together early on, as many suspected a budding romance.
Jodie recently starred in the second series of BBC’s Time alongside Bella Ramsey.
While series one saw Stephen Graham and Sean Bean take on lead roles as a conflicted prison officer and a former teacher consumed by guilt and demons from his own past, series two features an all female-cast and focuses on a women’s prison.

Before Ncuti Gatwa takes over as the Doctor in the upcoming 2023 Christmas special, fans will be treated to three special episodes to mark the 60th anniversary of the show, with David Tennant returning as the Time Lord alongside his former companion Donna Noble, played by Catherine Tate.
The first special, titled The Star Beast, will air on November 25 on BBC One and will be followed by Wild Blue Yonder on December 2 and The Giggle on December 9.
Appearing on BBC Breakfast on Thursday in a pre-recorded interview David said of his return: ‘Doctor Who, when you’re attached to it, you’re attached to it. To get to revisit it, sort of full-time, even briefly, was something I never really imagined.’
While Russell T Davies gushed of his plans: ‘I’ve always believed is all this show needs is to be good, to be fun, to be well cast, to be brilliant, that’s really missing from the schedules at the moment. I dare not say I’m confident but I’m proud of what we’ve made and I hope it works.’
Talking about Ncuti taking on the role he said: ‘I’ve had a little glimpse of what Ncuti can do and it’s very exciting. He’s such a great energy, he’s inventive, he’s clever, he’s quick, he’s funny.
‘It’s really exciting that there is such a brilliant new Doctor coming and I’ll be glued to every episode.’
