| text = THE chemistry between them has been plain for Doctor Who fans to see. Now, in a special Easter episode, Jodie Whittaker's Time Lord and her companion Yasmin, played by Man-dip Gill, will act on their feelings.

The show's boss Chris Chibnall said conversations between the pair would be 'developing and taking place' during Legend Of The Sea Devils.

The Doctor has often been involved in romantic subplots during the show's 60 years, but this would be the first same-sex relationship with a companion.

The previous special, Eve Of The Daleks, screened on New Year's Day and saw Yasmin finally confide her feelings to Dan Lewis, played by John Bishop. Chibnall said: 'Dan has cottoned onto the dynamic between the Doctor and Yaz, and from a distance observed what they haven't been admitting to themselves.

'Both Yaz and the Doctor have hinted that they have feelings that they are suppressing. So there are some conversations that need to be had and you'll see those conversations developing.'

Miss Gill, 34, who has played Yasmin since 2018, said: 'So the relationship between the Doctor and Yaz has definitely developed further.'

Miss Whittaker, 39, who took over as the Doctor in 2017, will leave following the third special, screened towards the end of the year. Her replacement has yet to be confirmed.

Legend Of The Sea Devils is on BBC1 on Sunday at 7.10pm.
