Freema Agyeman: Now I can pay off my student debts

Doctor Who's new assistant will use role to pay off loans

Billie Piper's replacement as Dr Who's assistant Freema Agyeman is over the moon she can now afford to pay back the debts she racked up as a student.

Although she once had a stint in Crossroads, before landing the Dr Who role Freema was working in her local Blockbusters - which meant she had to move back in with her parents.

But a hefty fee of £80,000 for 13 episodes is set to change everything.

'Now I can finally see a time when my debts will be gone,' she says. 'I want to pay it all back by the end of the year, then look for a home.'

And with a new property-developer boyfriend, it shouldn't be too difficult.

'Maybe when I've paid off all my debts, he can get me a good deal,' she tells Sunday mag.
