Katherine Jenkins Radio Times Interview

Radio Times Katherine Jenkins Interview

Is it true you’re to appear in the Doctor Who Christmas special?

I’ve not done any acting before, so I wasn’t sure if I even could. But I read for the part and on my 30th birthday, they called to say I’d got it. Matt Smith and Michael Gambon – who’s also in the episode – have been really encouraging. I can’t wait to see the results.

Did Michael Gambon give you any acting tips?

I learned so much from simply watching him, and he was always telling great stories about all the actors he’s worked with – Matt and I would sit and listen to him for hours.

Considering a career change?

I surprised myself: I never thought years ago that I’d want to act. But I’ve had such a good time doing it, who knows? Claire Webb
