Tardis time: James Corden will star in Doctor Who.
James Corden has let slip that he has a role in the new Doctor Who series currently being filmed in Wales. But whether he’s a goodie or a baddie is still a secret.
A fan let the cat out of the bag when Corden was spotted reading a Doctor Who script on a train to Wales.
As he’s not travelling to Wales to film Gavin and Stacey, it was clear something was up. When quizzed by the fan, the clearly-thrilled actor fessed up.
A source at the programme told The Sun newspaper: “We normally keep our guest stars under wraps but you can't hide a bloke like James. And now he's not coming to Wales for Gavin And Stacey any more, it's pretty obvious why he is here."
The new series stars Matt Smith as the new Time Lord since David Tennant stepped down. No one would reveal exactly what James, 31, is doing in the new BBC1 series which starts at Easter.
Pals say James, 31 - who filmed much of Gavin And Stacey in Welsh resort Barry Island - is a huge Doctor Who fan. And he jumped at the chance of appearing in the new BBC1 series, which starts in Easter.
The larger-than-life star follows in the footsteps of fellow comics Peter Kay, Catherine Tate and Lee Evans, who have all had parts on the show.
