Michelle Gomez confirms Missy is returning to 'Doctor Who' next season

Doctor Who star Michelle Gomez has announced that she’ll be back as Missy in Season 10.

She revealed the news at MegaCon in Orlando over the weekend – as well as revealing that she wants Missy to kiss Captain Jack.

The Scottish actress confirmed: “I can say that I will be doing the next season.”

She then joked: “…and that was a massive spoiler and now I’m sacked.”

Gomez first appeared as Missy, a female incarnation of the Master, in 2014 and reappeared in last season’s opening two-part story, ‘The Magician’s Apprentice’ and ‘The Witch’s Familiar’.

Gomez was recently nominated for Best Supporting Actress in the 2016 British Academy Television Awards – the first ever BAFTA TV Supporting Actress nomination for Doctor Who.

She will next be seen in Amazon’s first UK original drama, The Collection. Created by Oliver Goldstick (Ugly Betty, Pretty Little Liars), the family saga is set in the post-war Paris fashion world.
