Doctor Who star Millie Gibson looks incredible as she soaks up the sun in a yellow bikini

ACTRESS Millie Gibson has been escaping the January cold weather and enjoying the sunshine as she soaked up rays on a beach holiday.

Millie Gibson, who appeared last year in Doctor Who, has been enjoying a holiday as she shared some snaps and video to her Instagram.

The blonde actress revealed she'd been staying in a beachside 'hobbit hut' as she filmed herself stepping out and onto a blissful looking beach.

In another upload she showed off a yellow and blue floral print bikini, with her blonde hair left in wild natural curls.

The actress has enjoyed a steady string of holidays recently, as she travelled to Paris in November and Venice last October.

Millie was previously a soap actress in Coronation Street before she joined Doctor Who on BBC One.

Speaking about her new role in 2022, she said: "Whilst still being in total disbelief, I am beyond honoured to be cast as the Doctor’s companion.

"It is a gift of a role, and a dream come true, and I will do everything to try and fill the boots the fellow companions have travelled in before me.

"And what better way to do that than being by the fabulous Ncuti Gatwa’s side, I just can’t wait to get started."

Yet she was axed from Doctor Who after just one series of playing the Time Lord's sidekick Ruby Sunday.

In November last year Millie sparked rumours that she could be rejoining Coronation Street, three years after she quit the long-running ITV serial drama.

Millie was best known for her role of Kelly Neelan on Coronation Street and first made her debut on the cobbles in 2019.

Kelly was involved in major storylines, before Millie exited the soap just three years later.

Millie has also appeared in dramas Butterfly (ITV) and Love, Lies and Records on BBC.

After exiting for Doctor Who in 2022, Millie was spotted having moved back to Manchester with speculation rife that she could rejoin the soap and bring Kelly back.
