A science fiction magazine reported that the former popstar has already decided to quit the sci-fi show. The 22-year-old, who plays the Doctor's sidekick Rose Tyler, is said to be leaving after three episodes of the second series. Eccleston has already announced his departure following one series, and the BBC has brought in Scottish Casanova star David Tennant to replace him.
