Former Coronation Street star Millie Gibson has seemingly shrugged off her career setback by slipping into a bikini for an outdoor dip.
The actress, 19, has reportedly been dropped from BBC sci-fi drama Doctor Who after just one series, and will be replaced for new Doctor Ncuti Gatwa’s second season. Millie only made her debut as the companion in last year’s festive special.
But rather than dwell, it appears Millie decided to get out into nature. The blonde star posted a photo onto her Instagram story showing her posing in a natural swimming pool.

It’s not clear where the photo was taken, but if Millie’s outdoor swim was in the UK, then she’s incredibly brave, given the UK’s winter temperatures. And it looks like she really went for it, as her hair was wet too.
Millie is reported to be handing over the role of the Doctor’s companion to actress Varada Seethu. It’s claimed Millie will only appear in a handful of episodes in her second series.
The source told The Mirror: “Millie Gibson has all but left now and there’s a brand new companion, which is really exciting. Russell is keeping things moving and isn’t letting the grass grow, that’s for sure.”

And it appears Millie might not have been too confident in her acting career. She took a huge chance when she left Coronation Street, where she had appeared since 2019.
Speaking to The Independent last month, Millie said: “I’d thought: ‘I’m so young, why the hell not? I’ve not got a mortgage, I’ve not got kids, not got anyone to pay. So if it does go wrong, at least I’ll have tried it.'”
