Gatwa has played the role of Eric Effiong on Sex Education. Gatwa said in a statement that there weren't quite the words to describe how he was feeling. A mix of deeply honored, excited and scared. This role and show means so much to so many around the world, including myself, and each one of my incredibly talented predecessors has handled that unique responsibility and privilege with the utmost care. I will try my hardest to do the same.

Russell T Davies shared an image of himself with Gatwa on the Bafta TV Awards red carpet, where Gatwa was nominated for his role on Sex Education.

Gatwa will be on Doctor Who.
