Doctor Who fans left 'scared' and shocked after 'leak' ahead of series finale
This series has treated viewers to Ncuti Gatwa's 15th Doctor trying to get new companion Belinda Chandra (Verada Sethu) back home to Earth.
The future of the series beyond this one remains up in the air, with no confirmation of a new series yet.
However, a supposed 'leak' ahead of the series finale is gaining traction online, with fans shocked.
Newsquest will not reveal the details of the alleged 'leak' going around as not to spoil the show.
There is also no confirmation that any of it is true.
However, fans have taken to social media to air their thoughts over the 'leak'.
One said: "Okay I've seen the leak I assume everybody is talking about with Doctor Who.
"I won't say anything on the tl, but my general thoughts: it's sitting with me in less than fun way."
Another said: "I just woke up and opened Twitter and I'm hearing talk about a big doctor who leak what's going on I'm scared."
A third posted a short video showing Freema Agyeman's former Doctor Who character Martha Jones saying: "Oh my god!"
One doubted the rumours, though, saying: "Read the Doctor Who leaks and while some of them line up with what's happened so far, I really don't believe a certain few of them.
"Feels like the leaker maybe threw in some red herrings as to not let the BBC catch on to the leak until recently."
The BBC declined to comment on the Doctor Who rumours when approached for comment.
The final episode of this series of Doctor Who, The Reality War, will be shown on BBC One and BBC iPlayer at 7.10pm on Saturday, May 31.
It is the second part of a two-part finale, following Wish World from the week before.

‘And Just Like That ...' to end after third season
And just like that, a universe of fun, friendship and fashion is coming to an end. Michael Patrick King, showrunner of the 'Sex and the City' sequel 'And Just Like That ...,' announced on Instagram that the series will end after the third season concludes. Fans have a two-part finale to savor later this month. 'It's with great gratitude we thank all the viewers who have let these characters into their homes and their hearts over these many years,' he wrote. King said he decided to wrap things up while writing the season's final episode. He then split the finale into two episodes. The last episode will drop Aug. 14. In a long, heartfelt Instagram post of her own, Sarah Jessica Parker, who played the iconic Carrie Bradshaw character in both series, called the sequel 'all joy, adventure, the greatest kind of hard work alongside the most extraordinary talent.' She included a montage of Carrie's fashion and moments. Parker added: 'I am better for every single day I spent with you. It will be forever before I forget. The whole thing. Thank you all. I love you so.' Parker, Kristin Davis and Cynthia Nixon returned for the sequel. Largely absent was Kim Cattrall and her Samantha Jones, though Cattrall did make a brief, uncredited cameo in the Season 2 finale. Samantha's absence was explained as a move to London. Reports of pay and personal disputes bubbled over behind the scenes. The original series ran from 1998 to 2004, taking pop culture by storm with the style and drama of the 30-something friends in New York City. They shopped. They brunched. They dated, leaning on each other as Parker's Carrie, a writer, chronicled it all. The sequel picks up their lives in their mid-50s, to mixed reviews. Carrie became a widow. Nixon's Miranda Hobbes came out as queer. Davis' Charlotte York Goldenblatt copes with husband Harry's prostate cancer diagnosis. Fashion remains ever-present, including all those iconic heels still clacking through New York's brownstone-lined streets. In her farewell post, Parker wrote of her stylish Carrie that she, 'Changed homes, time zones, boyfriends, her mind, her shoes, her hair, but never her love and devotion to New York City.' She called Carrie 'my professional heartbeat for 27 years.'

Season 3 finale will in fact be the show's series finale. The show's official Instagram shared a statement from series creator Michael Patrick King, while star Sarah Jessica Parker confirmed the news on her own account. King said both he and Parker agreed to end And Just Like That..., a sequel series to Sex and the City and its sequel films. The pair chose not to announce Season 3 was the final season in advance. Season 3 has two more episodes, set for release Aug. 7 and 14. "While I was writing the last episode of And Just Like That... Season 3, it became clear to me that this might be a wonderful place to stop," King wrote. "We didn't want the word 'final' to overshadow the fun of watching the season." Parker also posted about her 27-year journey as Carrie Bradshaw, the character she has portrayed in the franchise since the premiere of Sex and the City on HBO in 1998. "I know others have loved her just as I have. Been frustrated, condemned and rooted for her," she wrote. "I hope you love these final two episodes as much as we do." And Just Like That... premiered in 2021, 11 years after the second Sex and the City movie. In Season 1, Carrie found herself a widow after Mr. Big (Chris Noth) died of a heart attack. Carrie, Charlotte (Kristin Davis) and Miranda (Cynthia Nixon) were joined by new friends Seema (Sarita Choudhury) and Lisa (Nicole Ari Parker) in the sequel. Original cast member Kim Cattrall briefly returned as Samantha Jones, who now lives in France and appeared in one Season 2 episode in a phone call with Carrie.

Where is Destination X filmed? All the mystery locations revealed so far and theories on the next stop
Destination X is the brand new BBC show that has got every talking - think: The Traitors meets Race Across the World. Hosted by Rob Byrdon, the new show sees 13 players aboard the X-bus with one key question: Where the X are they? With blacked-out windows, players must figure out their location based on limited clues. At the end of each episode, they place an X on the map. The closest players remain in the game, while the furthest player is eliminated. At the end of the series, one winner will bag a £100,000 prize. So far, two episodes of the show have aired and their locations have been revealed. Episode three will air on Wednesday 6th August, and viewers think they've already guessed the location. Here's everything you need to know. After much guessing, the location for episode one was revealed to be Paris. Lots of viewers guessed the French region of Alsace which many clues pointed to, and only one contestant, Dawn, successfully guessed Paris. After the contestants locked in their guesses, it was revealed that Deborah had put her X furthest away from their location. She was asked to step off the bus, where she immediately spotted the Eiffel Tower. At the start of the episode, the players flew from Baden-Baden, Germany to Alsace, then traveled north before ending up in Paris. Along the way, several clues were dropped - including a caricature of Kylian Mbappé (formerly of Paris Saint-Germain), a lookalike of Emily in Paris, classic French desserts, and a pun from Brydon, who said: "I fell in love" as a play on the word "Eiffel." At the end of episode two, Matterhorn, Switzerland was revealed to be Destination X. All the players successfully guessed Switzerland, but it was Dawn who had guessed the furthest away, opting for Lake Geneva. There was only a 5km difference between her and another player. After leaving Paris, the train drove through Dijon into Switzerland and then through Plage Des Pins in Yvonand. The players then headed to the Alps in the Swiss Italian border where many clues pointed to Switzerland and Matterhorn specifically. The Caution Highway Fault sign linked to CHF, which is the international code for the Swiss Franc and the +41 is the phone code for Switzerland. At the lake, the sign featured all four languages for Switzerland, and the sign spelled out the words Throne Mart - which when rearranged spelled Matterhorn. Additionally, the letters 'Terh' which Nick spotted (and didn't tell the others) are the middle letters of Matterhorn. Episode three is yet to air, but viewers are speculating that the players will be heading to Munich, Germany. In episodes one. several airports were shown on the departure board, including Charles de Gaulle Airport, Sion Airport in Switzerland, Salzburg Airport, Munich and more. Viewers believe this to be a dead giveaway, considering episodes one and two saw the contestants head to Paris and Matterhorn, which is right next to Sion. "Surely wouldn't be this obvious, right?" one viewer asked on X (formerly Twitter), as they suggested Munich for the next destination. Viewers will have to wait until the next episode for the destination to be revealed, but the it's adding up. Other potential spots include Pisa (PSA), Venice (VCE), and Trieste (TRS), which were all shown on the departure board. New episodes of Destination X air on BBC One and BBC iPlayer on Wednesdays and Thursdays.
