Line of Duty star Kelly Macdonald could be set to play Doctor Who next, according to Ladbrokes.

The former Trainspotting actress, 45, who played a key role in the latest series of Line Of Duty, is just 12/1 in the betting to replace Jodie Whittaker in the iconic role.

Kris Marshall and Michaela Coel continue to head up the betting at 6/1 apiece.

Others featured on the list include Richard Ayoade and Michael Sheen.

Alex Apati of Ladbrokes said: "The race to replace Jodie Whittaker is more wide-open than it's ever been and Line Of Duty fans will be pleased to see Kelly Macdonald's odds have tumbled substantially over the past few weeks."
