A Doctor Who companion looked sensational as she revealed her return for 60th anniversary special, almost four decades after her first appearance on the show. 

Bonnie Langford, 59, starred alongside The Sixth and Seventh time travelling lead character in 1986 and 1987, last returning to her role of Mel Bush in 2020. 

She will once again appear in the series for a trio of specials later this month, 37 years after she last travelled in the Tardis. 

Joining Ben Shephard and Susanna Reid on Thursday’ Good Morning Britain, Bonnie discussed her character. 

‘It’s fantastic to be back playing her! It’s great that she doesn’t scream anymore or run down corridor,’ she laughed.

Bonnie played the assistant to both Colin Baker’s and Sylvester McCoy’s Doctors, with many of the past 14 time travellers returning for the special. 

The actress remain coy when asked who would be making an appearance, as she said: ‘I was with the 6th and 7th Doctor and there’s 14 so, who knows, I’m not allowed to say too much.’

She also received a message from The Seventh Doctor, Sylvester, who admitted it was good to have her back. 

He exclaimed: ‘Happy 60th birthday Doctor Who and what better birthday present that to have Bonnie Langford return to the role of Mel. 

‘I was over the moon when I heard that you were coming back Bonnie and I know what it’s like to be over the moon because I am The Doctor. I wish you well.’

Doctor Who has been produced by the BBC since 1963 and when it was first released, was intended to be a regular weekly programme aired on Saturday evenings.

It originally ran for 26 seasons from November 23, 1963 to December 6, 1989, it was intended to be an educational show for family viewing to teach its younger audience about history as the Doctor travelled through time with its companions, a history and science teacher.

David Tenant and Catherine Tate will front the trio of specials before Ncuti Gatwa takes over the role of The Doctor on Christmas Day, in an episode titled The Church On Ruby Road. 

Return! 'It's fantastic to be back playing her! It's great that she doesn't scream anymore or run down corridor,' she laughed
