DOCTOR WHO: BBC RELEASE GRIPPING SERIES 11 TEASER > This is not the show that would have the moment of revelation that I > wasn't paid the same. I was never going to accept less.

>  > Jodie Whittaker Addressing the gender pay gap the 36-year-old actress, who will be the first-ever woman to portray the beloved Time Lord, said: "I don't enjoy being

thought of as less than for doing the same job. No woman does. "This is not the show that would have the moment of revelation that I wasn't paid the same. I was never going to

accept less." In 2017 it was revealed that only a third of the BBC's top earners are women and that its highest-paid male star, Chris Evans, earned a whopping £2.2million in 2016 -

compared with the highest-paid woman, Claudia Winkleman, who made £450,000. The BBC's director general Tony Hall was then forced to confirm there will be a "parity" in

earnings between Jodie and Peter Capaldi, who was the Doctor in 2016/17. RELATED ARTICLES "I am equal to everyone else and have never thought of myself as anything other than

that," adds Jodie to Stylist magazine. The star - who also discussed the #MeToo movement - said that it's great that we're all talking about what was previously considered a

taboo subject. "We have to acknowledge that when something's talked about, and passionately so, it's got to be heard. And that's what excites me about this time, that the

united voice is finally being listened to. "We will look back on this time and be really proud of the united voice and what it can accomplish." Doctor who star Jodie Whittaker

for the Los Angeles screening of her new flick Loving Pablo. On Sunday the 44-year-old, who portrays a Colombian author/ journalist who had an affair with infamous drug lord Pablo Escobar,

hit the red carpet in the silky frock with an asymmetric neckline. The actress, who starred in the acclaimed The Assassination Of Gianni Versace, rounded off the Ralph & Russo ensemble

with a pair of glamorous open-toed heels and an ankle bracelet. Penélope's actor husband of eight years Javier Bardem, with whom she has two children, stars in the film as Escobar. The

49-year-old, who also attended the event looking dapper in his two-piece suit, started dating his future wife after playing her love interest in Vicky Cristina Barcelona. Penelope Cruz poses

presenter - who is being replaced by Holly Willoughby as co-host alongside his sidekick Declan Donnelly on the upcoming I'm A Celebrity - looked happy and healthy as he played with his

beloved four-legged friend Hurley at the weekend. The telly star, 42, who was dressed down in a tracksuit and sweatshirt as he had a kickabout with the pet, was pictured cuddling and kissing

new girlfriend Anne-Marie Corbett last week. Ant, who has taken an extended break from television to continue his recovery from alcohol addiction following his drink-drive arrest in March,

got together with personal assistant Anne-Marie earlier this year after splitting from wife Lisa Armstrong after 11 years of marriage. Ant and Lisa are set for a quick divorce to dodge a

lengthy court battle, according to reports. TV Presenter Ant McPartlin seen walking his dog (Image: GETTY) "I CAN'T WAIT TO TURN 50" Bros star Matt Goss says that he feels

sexier than ever as he gets set to hit 50. The When Will I Be Famous? hit-maker who reaches the milestone age at the end of the month, is certainly not withering with age - well not his

confidence, anyway! "I can't wait to turn 50," insists the singer who recently had a reunion Bros tour with twin brother Luke. "I feel more virile, more alive and more

youthful. I feel absurdly youthful and I still attract women in their 20s. I feel at ease in my own skin. OK, I don't have a six-pack but am in shape. I really like being me... Phew!

Matt, whose pop history will soon be brought to the screen in a new Bros film produced by James Corden, clearly has enough self-esteem for him and his twin! Bros star Matt Goss to embrace

stars' favourite new theatre production Six and totally got the hype. The musical at London's Art Theatre about the six wives of Henry VIII reimagined as a contemporary girl band,

singing their heads off on their Divorced Beheaded Live tour, was 75 minutes of delight. From Tudor queens to pop princesses - Catherine of Aragon, Anne Boleyn, Jane Seymour, Anne of Cleves,

Catherine Howard and Catherine Parr - are tired of being defined by their husband and want to claim their rightful place in "her story". The show, described by writers Lucy Moss

and Toby Marlow as a "pop concert musical", references the likes of Katy Perry, Britney Spears, Beyoncé and Adele. See sixthemusical.com for tickets.
