Yep, it’s believed the former Corrie star will take on the role of Clara Oswald and star opposite Peter Capaldi in the hit BBC show.
Bookies Ladbrokes have even slashed the 28-year-old’s odds from 10-1 to as low as 4-1 over the weekend.
“Michelle is just what the Doctor ordered,” said Jessica Bridge from Ladbrokes. “As far as the odds are concerned, she’ll be entering the Tardis sooner rather than later as his assistant.”
“If the punters are right on the money we’ll face a bumper payout.”
Jeepers – we think we’ll whack a tenner on!
On Friday, Jenna Coleman confirmed that she was leaving the Tardis for good to focus on her role as Queen Victoria in a new TV drama.

Revealing her news to Nick Grimshaw on the Radio One breakfast show, the actress confirmed rumours that she’s leaving the part.
“It was emotional! It’s been in the works for a very long time. Steven [Moffat] and I sat down a year and a half ago and tried to work out the best place to do it, and the best place to tell a really good story – hopefully that’s what we’ve done. I think it’s really cool … obviously we’re not going to give away any details but it will happen at some point this season,” she told Grimmy.

Jenna admitted that it was a ‘tough decision’ (well, duh) and that she will miss the show a lot.
“There’s not a lot of jobs where you get to go to work and have a spaceship, and an alien is your best mate and also run away from monsters … you kind of think this job is only going to happen once. It’s been so much fun; it’s such a unique beast.”
“I think I’m in denial – I don’t feel like I’ve left; I still see Peter Capaldi all the time, so I kind of believe I still have a key to the Tardis – which I might do because I kind of stole it …" she said.
Which is fine - just so long as they have a new one cut for Michelle!
