Doctor Who's Freema: "I'm not going"

Doctor Who star Freema Agyeman has blasted a recent tabloid story that claimed she is being forced out of the show.

The actress, who plays Martha Jones in the hit drama, told Metro: "I don’t know where it came from but I’m not getting axed. It was quite horrible to read it. I’m not going."

As for her exact involvement in season four, which is due to begin filming in Cardiff next month, Agyeman admitted that she’s "not allowed to discuss [it]".

Rumours are rife about the conclusion of Doctor Who’s third season, with suggestions that as many as three alternate endings have been filmed. Last year, Agyeman’s predecessor Billie Piper left her role as companion Rose Tyler at the end of the second season.
