Who’s that girl? Glamorous Karen’s a model sidekick for the doctor

May 31st, 2009

Dressed in a slinky black dress split to thigh, she is light years away from the intergalactic adventures which will soon make her a household name.
The stunning picture shows that Karen Gillian – Doctor Who’s latest companion – is unlikely to fade into the background when she takes her place in the Tardis in the hit BBC series next year.
Karen is already a successful model and will bring glamour to the role recently occupied by comedienne Catherine Tate.
With a string of catwalk credits, as well as appearances in high-profile fashion shoots, the 21-year-old has modelled for designers Allegra Hicks and House of Boing since leaving London’s prestigious Italia Conti stage school in 2005.
The redhead from Inverness will team up with new time lord Matt Smith, 26, who replacces outgoing star David Tennant.
Last night, Karen’s father John, said: ‘We’re delighted for her – she has worked very hard for this.’
