It seems like as we get closer and closer to the August premiere of the eighth season of Doctor Who, more exciting news keeps popping up! This week we learned that British singer-songwriter Foxes (also known as Louisa Rose Allen) will be one of the many guest stars in a new episode with Peter Capaldi as the new Doctor. Foxes will even perform a song on the episode!

Speaking with the BBC, Foxes seemed genuinely excited about the casting news and is definitely looking forward to filming.

"I can't believe I'm actually going to be in an episode of Doctor Who! Especially as it all came about from a chance meeting," the singer revealed. "I was playing a gig and got chatting to the show's production team who'd been watching my performance. I was telling them how much I loved Doctor Who and next thing they invited me to be on it. I couldn't think of a better place to make my acting debut than on one of the UK's most iconic shows!"

Meanwhile, Doctor Who executive producer Steven Moffat is also excited for the opportunity to bring Foxes into the time-travelling show.

"We are completely thrilled that the amazingly talented Foxes is joining us on board ... well, you'll see," he teased. "Let's just say, the Doctor is finally catching up on his phone calls."

What could this little plot hint mean? We assume Foxes will be calling the Doctor in an upcoming episode, but who knows what Moffat really has in store for us!
