Supermodel Agyness Deyn has been linked to a possible role in a future Doctor Who story.

The Sunday Mirror reports that the BBC is keen to cast more showbiz stars following previous appearances by Kylie Minogue, Peter Kay, Simon Pegg, Barbara Windsor and Paul O'Grady.

The tabloid cites a BBC insider as stating: "Agyness is the perfect choice. She's talented and fast becoming a household name. Doctor Who remains the Beeb's jewel in the crown and bosses love pulling out the stops to land a big-name star to add a bit of extra showbiz sparkle to the Christmas special."

However, filming on the 2008 Christmas Special is believed to have finished several weeks ago, with David Tennant now immersed in rehearsals for his theatrical stint in Hamlet.
