Pop singer Lily Allen is being tipped to land the role of The Doctor's assistant in the next series of 'Doctor Who'.
According to The Telegraph, executive producer Piers Wenger said: "Having got the casting of The Doctor out of the way, the companion role is where we will be looking next."
"Someone terribly exciting like Billie Piper, who was at the beginning of her acting career but who had a profile for other reasons, would be great."
"We are looking for someone whose light can burn brightly," Wenger said.
"We would never cast anyone on the basis of their celebrity, but if Lily wanted to audition we would be delighted. It would be a lot of fun."
