A source is quoted as saying: "Lily is multi-talented. She comes from more of a TV background than a musical one.

"After the chat show we hope she'll take over from Catherine as Dr Who's assistant.

We've talked to her and she was excited by the idea."

Meanwhile, Rhys Ifans and John Simm are reportedly being tipped to replace David Tennant when he steps down to take a year off to do theatre work.
