COMEDIAN Susan Calman has revealed her next goal is to appear in Doctor Who, after she became the ninth competitor to leave Strictly Come Dancing.
Calman and her professional partner Kevin Clifton lost out in a dance-off with singer Alexandra Burke and Gorka Marquez.
The actress and writer tweeted that she had just “one burning ambition” left after taking part in the dancing show.
“To be The Doctor. Or be in Doctor Who. Or, to be honest, just be allowed anywhere near Doctor Who in any way,” she tweeted.
Calman said she had “loved every minute” of being on Strictly but joked that “normal service” would resume on her Twitter feed on subjects such as cats, Helen Mirren and Batman.
Calman’s father Sir Kenneth Calman founded Cancer Support Scotland and she used the attention garnered from Strictly to urge people to donate to the charity, pointing out that today has been dubbed Giving Tuesday.
Calman said: “Giving Tuesday is a very easy way to donate to Cancer Support Scotland in the run-up to Christmas. Unfortunately, cancer does not stop for Christmas and by making a donation you will be helping to provide complementary therapies and counselling for cancer patients, their families and carers.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
