The 39-year-old actress is set to bow out of the sci-fi series at the end of season 13, after three series as the titular Doctor, and former showrunner Steven Moffat has revealed she will face the terrifying adversaries before she leaves.
He wrote on Instagram: "It breaks my heart when a Doctor Who resigns. It feels like there’s a vacancy in the universe. Who will keep the lights on for the children? Who will fight the monsters in our dreams? But it’s too soon to be sad – there’s going to be a whole new season of Jodie’s charming, fast, brilliant, silly Doctor! And she going to fight THE WEEPING ANGELS!!
"Go get ‘em, Jodie. I was going to say thank you for keeping the TARDIS safe – but no! Thank you for keeping it dangerous! (sic)"
However, after former show writer Russell T Davies wrote "SPOILERS!!!!! Xxx" under the message, Steven deleted part of the caption and admitted he should not have revealed the information about the Weeping Angels.
He wrote: "(Adding: now we all know I made a slight screw up there. Now gone Please respect my idiocy and SHHHHH.)"
The Angels were created by Moffat in 2007, when they made their debut in the episode 'Blink' and they are widely regarded as one of the Doctor's most terrifying adversaries.
Meanwhile, Jodie and showrunner Chris Chibnall recently confirmed they will both leave the show in 2022.
Jodie said: "In 2017 I opened my glorious gift box of size 13 shoes. I could not have guessed the brilliant adventures, worlds and wonders I was to see in them. I will carry the Doctor and the lessons I’ve learnt forever.”
Chris added: "Jodie and I made a ‘three series and out’ pact with each other at the start of this once-in-a-lifetime blast. So now our shift is done, we’re handing back the Tardis keys.
“Jodie’s magnificent, iconic Doctor has exceeded all our high expectations. She’s been the gold-standard leading actor, shouldering the responsibility of being the first female Doctor with style, strength, warmth, generosity and humour.”
