AXED Strictly Come Dancing star Susan Calman has revealed her next goal is to appear in Doctor Who.
The Scottish comedian and her professional partner Kevin Clifton became the ninth couple to leave the BBC competition over the weekend after a dance-off with singer Alexandra Burke and Gorka Marquez.
Calman told her Twitter followers on Monday morning she now 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 and Clifton returned to the dance floor to perform their American smooth to Bobby Darin's Beyond The Sea, while Burke and Marquez repeated their rumba to Beyonce's Halo.
The judges voted unanimously to save Burke, calling time on Calman and Clifton's Strictly journey.
The 43-year-old comic said she has "loved every minute" of being on the show, and that she and Clifton are now friends for life.
Now Strictly is over, the actress and writer joked "normal service" will resume on her Twitter feed with subjects such as cats, Helen Mirren and Batman back on the menu.
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.
It comes ahead of a day dubbed Giving Tuesday which follows Black Friday and Cyber Monday and encourages people to donate to causes which help others.
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 Cancer Support Scotland provide complementary therapies and counselling to cancer patients, their family and carers at a very difficult point in their lives."
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!
