New ‘Doctor Who’ Jodie Whittaker has revealed her dad was less than impressed about being kept in the dark about her exciting new TV role.

The 35-year-old actress was announced as the new Time Lord in July, but was under strict instructions to keep it a secret for three whole months before the big reveal.

The ‘Broadchurch’ star did tell two people her news - mum Yvonne and husband Christian - but admits her dad, Adrian, couldn’t be trusted to keep it to himself - which he was “furious” about.
Jodie tells The Mirror: “My dad was furious. But good news is difficult to keep secret.

“You wanna go ‘Have you heard the news?’ But you don’t know how wildfire that would go.”
She added: “Mum kept it from the world. She was trustworthy.”

n fact, Jodie took the secrecy about her high profile new role so seriously that she even used a codeword – “The Clooney” – when talking to her agent.

“It was a full military operation,” she said. “I basically whispered for three months and it was tedious even in my own kitchen.

“It is because I knew the idea for the reveal. And I thought if we can get that it will be amazing. I was under the radar the entire time.

“I am practiced at it. With Broadchurch there are so many secrets to keep.”
Jodie also insists that she wasn’t simply “handed the part on a plate” and went through an extensive audition process.

“There was this long process, as it should be,” she explained. “They needed to make sure I was right for the part.
“You have to put yourself in a position where you are going to fight for a role like this, because the fans are owed that. You want someone who is fighting for it is such an honour. You can’t just be blasé.”
