Billie Piper has ruled out making a full time return to Doctor Who - but has cast her vote for who she would like to see take over as the next Doctor.
The actress, 38, who played Rose Tyler - a companion to the Doctor in series one and two- would like to see Helena Bonham Carter cast as the next Doctor.
However, Billie said she has no intention on taking on the role of Rose again because of the workload and the pressures of being on a high-profile programme.

New sources have now come forward that allege the
Adulthood director behaved sexually inappropriate while on the set of
Doctor Who. Clarke played Rose Tylerâs (Billie Piper) boyfriend Mickey Smith in the sci-fi series from 2005-06, with sporadic guest appearances in later seasons. He last appeared on the show in 2010.
Joanne Hayes, who worked as a costume assistant on the first season of the
Doctor Who revival (shot in 2004), told
he Guardian that Clarke sexually harassed her in his trailer. â[He] liked girls with long hair,â said Hayes, who had long hair at the time.
An unnamed woman who worked on the show around the same time alleges that Clarke touched her inappropriately while she was driving him to and from set and that he would repeatedly ask her to go to his hotel room for sex. She noted that she was later put on different duties after complaining to an assistant director.
Christopher Eccleston is returning to
Doctor Who. Though the Ninth Doctor actor has traditionally distanced himself from the sci-fi show since he vacated the TARDIS after one season in 2005, he’s now back to voice the role in an ongoing audio drama series for Big Finish Productions, who also work with the likes of Tom Baker, Paul McGann and David Tennant.
