Bradley hinted at his exit before the last season, saying he was finding filming Doctor Who tough.
It’s hard. It’s relentless. It really is. This ain’t an easy gig.
He told The Mirror: “We have great fun doing it. But you must sleep and look after yourself, because if you don’t, you will come unstuck.
“This is 10 months of ramming speed. That’s what it is. I’m in my 60th year. It’s tough. It’s hard. It’s relentless. It really is. This ain’t an easy gig.”

Tosin, meanwhile, has landed a part in new American drama 61st Street.
The last season of Doctor Who finished on a cliffhanger with the Doctor’s fate in the Great CyberWar left unknown.
Viewers will have to wait until the festive special, entitled Revolution of the Daleks, to find out what happens next.
Showrunner Chris Chibnall told the Daily Mail: “There will be Daleks. There will be exterminations. Thrills, laughter, tears. You know. The usual. See you at the end of the year.”
