Scots react to Ncuti Gatwa wearing kilt in Doctor Who Christmas trailer

SCOTS have reacted to images of actor Ncuti Gatwa wearing a kilt in the Doctor Who Christmas trailer.

Sex Education star Gatwa, 31, made his first appearance on Doctor Who during the last instalment of the 60th anniversary episodes.

The first full episode of the BBC One sci-fi show starring Gatwa in his role as the 15th Time Lord will air on Christmas Day.

In a newly-released teaser trailer for the festive episode (below), Gatwa’s Doctor is seen alongside new companion Ruby Sunday, played by former Coronation Street star Millie Gibson.

He is also seen in a nightclub, dancing in a kilt – with Scots reacting to the scene.

One user said on Twitter/X: “Ncuti Gatwa in a kilt is absolutely everything to me. My family came from the same area in Scotland where he grew up and I love.”

Another person added: “Queer joy spinning around in a kilt/skirt with the stunning Ncuti Gatwa and I am so here for it!”

Meanwhile, another said: “WOW. Just a trailer, but wow. 15 is an absolute ball of energy. He doesn’t just run (over rooftop), he leaps! And dances (in a kilt) And is cool as f*ck.

#NcutiGatwa era is upon us.”
