Katherine Jenkins' Christmas Questions
A Christmas Carol marks Katherine Jenkins' first foray into acting and although details about her character are shrouded in a snowy mystery, we do know she's playing Abigail Pettigrew and she'll be singing in the special!
It's an incredibly busy time for Katherine right now, so we're doubly grateful she found time for The Christmas Questions, spilling the beans about working on Doctor Who, her earliest memories of the show, what she's up to at Christmas... and much more.
What have been your personal highlights of working on Doctor Who?
I would say working with the Doctor Who Team. Doctor Who is a bit like a family and everyone made me feel very welcome and at ease. Matt Smith and Sir Michael Gambon were an inspiration - I have never done any acting before and they were incredibly encouraging.
What's surprised you most about the world of Doctor Who?
The attention to detail and the way they create the special effects. There was one particular set in 'A Christmas Carol' that was so eerie and spooky - I could never have stood there by myself!
What are your earliest memories of Doctor Who?
I remember sitting on my mum's sofa, pillow in hand as it always really scared me! My most immediate memory would be the music - it's so iconic.
How will you be spending Christmas? And after working on the show for ages, will you still be watching A Christmas Carol 'live' on the 25th?
Yes, absolutely! I will hopefully be back in Neath after my trip to entertain the troops in Afghanistan. Then in the evening on Christmas day, we usually head up to my Aunty Jo's house for Christmas tea and Trivial Pursuit... This year it will all be about Doctor Who. We'll watch it as a family and I already know that I will be very nervous!
Who do you get mistaken for? In real life?
Charlotte Church - all the time!
The last time you went to a fancy dress party, who or what did you go as?
Every New Year's Eve we have a fancy dress party. Last year I went as Princess Jasmine. This year, in honour of Doctor Who, we are having a TARDIS themed party though I'm still not sure what I'm going to wear!
Do you believe in ghosts?
Yes - maybe not ghosts but spirits for sure. My dad died when I was 15 and he visited me once in a dream. I have no doubt it was him.
Five fast ones: What's your...
- Favourite movie?
Forrest Gump
- Favourite TV Show? (apart from Doctor Who!)
Spooks
- Ideal Christmas present (to receive!)
Time (to spend with the family)
- Favourite book?
The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time
- Motto?
It's never crowded on the extra mile
Finally... what are your new year's resolutions for 2011?
To take more photos of my travels and to print them off!
Massive thanks to Katherine Jenkins!
