The actor and comedian will appear opposite Matt Smith in 'The Doctor, The Widow and The Wardrobe'.
"He's called Reg," Armstrong told TV Choice. "[He's] husband to Madge (Claire Skinner). He's a brave airman."
Armstrong also revealed that the death of his character is central to the plot of the festive special.
"I die, that's true," he confirmed. "But there are quite a lot of flashbacks, and the instance of his dying turns out to be very important. As will be revealed."
Comedian Bill Bailey and Fast Show's Arabella Weir will also star in the hour-long episode, written by Who showrunner Steven Moffat.
Doctor Who returns to BBC One on Christmas Day at 7pm.
