Nina Wadia in Doctor Who: Series Five

Nina Wadia, who plays 'Zainab Masood' in Eastenders has revealed to The Sun that she is guest starring in the next series of Doctor Who as a 'psychiatric doctor' alongside Matt Smith!

Nina said of her Who role: "It was brilliant to be let out for a couple of days to do something else and it was great working with Matt Smith.

"I play a bit of a baddie. And yes, like my EastEnders character Zainab, she's not a very pleasant woman - but at least I'm human and not some kind of strange alien life-form."

Nina added: "I play a doctor - more of a psychiatric doctor than a traditional medical one."
