Doctor Who star Noel Clarke has revealed what is in store for his character in the next series of the show.
The actor thinks that Rose's boyfriend Mickey Smith has changed considerably since his first appearance last year.
"Mickey gets very sexy in this new series," Noel told the Daily Star. "He's a completely different person from the lad stuck in a wheelie bin in Episode One of the first series. And he and Rose's mum Jackie certainly get on. They didn't interact much at the start - but that has changed now.
"He even tells Rose, 'I go round your mum's every Sunday now... she cooks my dinner... talks about you non-stop.' You know, I think he's secretly giving her one. It's his plan. It's like a fantasy thing - having a mother and daughter at the same time. He's working up to it slowly."
Noel is looking forward to joining the Doctor and Rose for more adventures in the new series.
He explained, "When the show's writer Russell T. Davies told me what he wanted to do with my character, I was like 'Hell yeah! I'm not going to miss this for the world.' Russell is a genius and I think fans are really going to like this new series."
