In New! Magaine it says she was 2nd fave to get the part. I dont know if Rachel would have been any good though..

I think she would've done. She has the same kind of attitude in the S Club series as Billie Piper I think. :smoke:

After all the debate over who would be replacing Billie Piper for a third season of Doctor Who, the truth has finally been revealed.

 

Unfortunately, Rachel Stevens was not selected for the role, however, London-born actress Freema Agyeman (pictured right) did receive the part and has already appeared, playing a minor role, in the latest episode of the TV drama series.

 

BBC News reports:

 

 

Agyeman, 27, will play Martha Jones in the next run of the drama, due to start filming in Cardiff this summer.

 

Regular viewers saw her in last week's episode where she played Adeola, a minor character who suffered at the hands of the Cybermen.

 

 

Well, that's sad for Rachel that she did not get the part, seeing as we have reports of her not only trying out for the role, but also making it rather far in the callback selections.

 

Either way, it was good experience for her and here's to her next audition, be it a movie or a TV show!
