Ncuti Gatwa has finally broken his silence following his tearful exit from Doctor Who, and boy, are fans buzzing. His departure during the season finale shocked viewers, especially with Billie Piper making a surprise return. After two seasons as the beloved Time Lord, Ncuti’s tenure came to a dramatic close as he faced off against the nefarious Rani, making a gut-wrenching decision to save a child’s life that ultimately spelled the end of his journey. His heartfelt farewell to companion Belinda Chandra, played by Varada Sethu, included poignant parting words: “I hope you’ll see me again, but not like this.”

Talk about a twist. Right after his last moments, Billie Piper’s character seemingly hinted that she’d be stepping into the role next, leaving fans wondering what’s next in the Whoniverse. The chat doesn’t stop there, as Express readers are currently debating who their favourite Time Lord is now that Ncuti has left the TARDIS.

In a heartfelt Instagram post, Ncuti reflected on his time with companions Belinda and Ruby Sunday (played by Millie Gibson), sharing behind-the-scenes snaps that capture the fun they had. He wrote, “Twas an experience like no other and thank God we were by each other’s side. There aren’t quite the words for how much you both mean to me… Ruby Sunday and Belinda Chandra will live in mine and the Whoniverse hearts forever.”

Fans flooded his posts with love, some lamenting that they wished for more time with him as the Doctor. One fan shared, “Best doctor since David Tennant, we wanted more time with you :(((,” while another heartbroken follower commented they felt Ncuti deserved better. Messages like these just reflect how much he’s been appreciated.

Ncuti also threw in a light-hearted second tribute, jokingly listing the many bizarre creatures he encountered. It’s not every day you face monsters, human-eating slugs, and conspiracy theorists! He closed with a cheeky, “Well done and rest up son.”

Meanwhile, Billie Piper couldn’t resist a nostalgic nod to her days with the Doctor on Instagram with her own post, saying, “A rose is a rose is a rose ! ! !” complete with throwback photos, reminding everyone of her iconic Rose Tyler.

And let’s not forget Russell T Davies, the man behind the magic, who chimed in to express his appreciation for Ncuti’s contribution, stating, “What a Doctor! Thank you, Ncuti!” He really hit the nail on the head: this has been an absolute joy, filled with great adventures, and Cardiff is lucky to have had Gatwa onboard. Now, the skies are the limit for him!

Fans are still recovering from this emotional rollercoaster, waiting with bated breath to see what the future holds for Doctor Who, and who will fill Ncuti’s impressive shoes next.

With a dramatic farewell, Ncuti Gatwa has officially left Doctor Who after two unforgettable seasons, leaving quite a mark and an emotional gap among fans. His heartfelt goodbyes to his companions and a surprising return of Billie Piper has set the stage for what’s next in the famed series.
