Liam Gallagher Set To Appear In The Dr Who Christmas Special

Liam Gallagher is set to make a guest appearance in the Christmas Special of Dr Who.

He will film the scenes in the Welsh capital Cardiff later this month, when Beady Eye play in Newport as part of the bands UK and Irish tour.

A source told us "Liam was asked earlier this year if he would like to appear in the Christmas Special, and he jumped at the chance as he loves the show."

Matt Smith who is the eleventh incarnation of the Doctor, has said he is looking forward to working with Liam.

It's not the first time the show has had a singer in one of it's episodes, in 2007 Kylie Minogue featured in the Christmas special 'Voyage Of The Damned'.

Executive producer and writer Russell T Davies described his casting as a "very exceptional case", having written the part specifically for Gallagher.
