Ncuti Gatwa returned as the Doctor for the second series last month and on Saturday 17 May fans will get to see The Interstellar Song Contest on BBC One.

The plan was for Ncuti to appear in the actual Eurovision Song Contest too, delivering the results of the UK's Jury during the Grand Final.

However, he's had to drop out. It's now going to be singer Sophie Ellis-Bextor instead.

Ex-Eurovision presenter Rylan will be playing a version of himself too

Rylan Clark, who is a self confessed Whovian, will also appear in the episode on Saturday.

He's previously commentated on Eurovision in real life, but will now play himself in the time-travelling series.

Rylan will be one of the hosts of the Interstellar Song Contest.

He said he's delighted to have had a part in the hit series, but wasn't nervous.

"It felt like I should be doing it. The most nervous thing was actually knowing I was in Doctor Who.

"I played myself but also added a bit of Caesar from the Hunger Games for good measure."
