Reports have alleged that Gatwa will be leaving the show at the end of this season - but are they correct?

Finally, a non-tabloid source addresses this. I haven't been keen on linking to The sun or The mirror because they're just really shitty news media. This past week they have insisted that Ncuti Gatwa was "axed" after cancelling his appearance at the Eurovision finale.

Bear in mind, this after reporting for some time that the actor had already quit the show... BBC's prompt denials just give the same rags another headline to run each time. Radio times keep a somewhat clearer outlook:

What is clear is that reports and rumours regarding Gatwa's apparent departure have so far been conflicting, meaning they should be taken with a grain of salt, and we will have to watch The Reality War to find out for certain whether the Fifteenth Doctor is sticking around.

It genuinely doesn't seem to be any ill will. Just last year I read an interview where he seemed upset at the thought of not meeting the Daleks ๐Ÿ™‚

Would be nice if things work out and he at least gets the usual three seasons.
