The 47-year-old actress, who stars as River Song in the sci-fi series, admitted that she finds the Eleventh Doctor more attractive than his predecessor David Tennant.
"David was brilliant but very, very straight - quirky, but straight down the line," she told SFX. "Matt is quite... sexy! I shouldn't say this, but he is. Quirky and mad professorish, but also quite sexy.
"He was nearly a professional footballer, so he's got that slight laddish thing going on as well. He looks almost public schoolboy, but he's not. He's got bandy legs, but that's from the football!"
She added: "He's really, really lovely and a fantastic actor who allows himself to be vulnerable in a way that I don't think I've ever seen before."
Doctor Who continues tomorrow night at 6.15pm on BBC One.
