The 27-year-old actress, who plays Clara on BBC’s Doctor Who chatted about Matt leaving the show after the Christmas special and what that means for her character.

“There were discussions as soon as I started, so I knew it was likely that Matt would be leaving us at the end of this season,” Jenna shared.

She added, “I knew that I was playing three different characters, but we didn’t know until later in the season the reveal of that…. It was just the quest of how the same girl can pop up throughout time and space.”

FYI: Jenna is wearing a TopShop dress and Christian Louboutin heels.
