One minute she's staying, the next she's going - the rumours rumble on about whether or not Jenna Coleman is quitting Doctor Who after this series.

The actress, who plays the Doctor's assistant, Clara, is doing nothing to settle it one way or another either.

"There's lots of rumours," she told the Radio Times, external.

"We've sat down with showrunner Steven Moffat and we've all decided we don't want anybody to know which way it's going."

In fact, the team are sort of encouraging the confusion - by all saying different things.

"If you know I'm in the next series - or if you know I'm off - you'll know how the story ends," said Coleman.

But Peter Capaldi, who plays the Time Lord, recently claimed he was "not looking for a new assistant".

"I don't know where these rumours have started," he said.

"What I can say is she is absolutely fabulous.

"She's been called upon to do things that I don't think any other companion has had to do, to show a kind of emotional range and I think she's done it absolutely brilliantly."

Either way, she's definitely going to be in the Christmas episode - but she won't say much about that either.

"Because there's a surprise we've got coming, it's much better that nobody knows which way it's going to go - so that's where we're trying to keep it at the moment... that's all I should probably say."

So that clears that up then...
