Remember, it’s a movie, pictures don’t mean anything is going on…

Nixon, who lives in Pontypridd – just minutes from the BBC Wales studio where the programme is filmed – was last night thrilled at being linked with the much-loved programme.

She said: “Well, the studios where they film Doctor Who are right next to where I live at home in Pontypridd, so it would be very handy.

“It would be lovely to be filming and be able to sleep in my own bed. Being in an action role would also be great – I’ve never done anything like that before.

“If I had the chance to audition for the role and got it I don’t think I’d believe it. I’d love to film something in Wales. The new Doctor is so much younger I think he might need a young companion.”

Nixon recently appeared on the movie screen in Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging and will shortly appear in Cherrybomb opposite Harry Potter actor Rupert Grint, who plays Harry’s friend Ron Weasley in the film franchise.

Harry Potter star Rupert Grint is reportedly dating his co-star in new film Cherrybomb.

The actor, who plays Ron Weasley in the wizard franchise, is said to be smitten with Kimberley Nixon.

“He fancied her from the start andnd it seems she feels the same,” a source told The People.

Cherry Bomb follows teenagers Luke, Malachy, and Michelle as they embark on a wild weekend of drink, drugs, shop-lifting and stealing cars. But what starts out as a game turns deadly serious when the three discover that they can’t get off the wild ride they’ve set in motion.
