Jenna Coleman has been discussing Clara Oswald’s future with the Doctor in a new interview with Digital Spy.

Promoting the complete Series 8 boxset, which is released in the UK tomorrow, the actress revealed that she doesn’t think her character “could go back to just having a normal life again”. The impossible girl was seen parting ways with the Time Lord at the end of the most recent episode, Death in Heaven, but we know she’ll be back at Christmas after she appeared in a preview clip from the special which was shown during Children in Need.

She expanded: “I think she’s addicted to him and the life and the TARDIS, so I don’t think there’s really a way back for her now. She’s had a taste of this life and him.”

It’s not the first time Jenna has remained tight-lipped about her involvement in Series 9, which is expected to begin filming in January. She has previously stated: “If you know I’m in the next series then you’ll know how the story ends. It’s much better if nobody knows.”

“Say something nice” (or not) about the Series 8 finale in our episode discussion!
