'He's a charming silver fox,’ says Foxes of Peter Capaldi during her Doctor Who appearance

Singer/songwriter Foxes has revealed she's a bit smitten with Time Lord actor Peter Capaldi, after meeting him during her time filming her guest role for the new series of Doctor Who.

Foxes, 25 (real name Louisa Rose Allen), hinted at a little crush on new Time Lord Peter Capaldi, saying: "I know I'm biased but I like that he's a charming silver fox. Sod it, he was lovely."

Foxes makes a special appearance in the hit sci-fi drama, but she would have turned down the role if it hadn't involved singing in the TARDIS, claims the Daily Star.

"It's more singing than acting, that's why I'm doing it," added Foxes.

"Acting isn't something I thought I would get into."

Foxes landed her role after heading over to a Doctor Who conference which was happening nearby when she was performing at a show in Liverpool.

“I sort of went there and got talking to these guys and I just said how much I loved it."

“They watched my show and, little did I know, they were producers. A couple of weeks later, they asked me to do a song for the show.”

Doctor Who returns to BBC1 on Saturday, August 23.
