Doctor Who scene cut as Karen Gillan admits: ‘I can’t swim’

Doctor Who bosses had to cut a scene after discovering that Scottish star Karen Gillan could not swim, the actress has revealed.

Gillan said co-star Matt Smith first realised that she could not swim when they went for a dip in between shoots.

The problem was further 
exposed when filming a scene in which the Tardis was flooded.

She joked that it ruined the show.

“I can’t swim,” Gillan said. “There was actually a scene in one episode when I needed to swim in the Tardis, and they cut it out. I have ruined the show.”

Smith added: “I thought she was drowning.”
