British pop star turned actress Billie Piper has officially announced that she will not be returning to her role as Doctor Who‘s traveling companion Rose in the third season. She was quoted as saying
"It has been an amazing adventure and I can confirm it comes to an end, for now at least, as series two climaxes… Rose and I have gone on the most incredible journey over the past two years, I am truly indebted to Russell and to all the Doctor Who fans old and new who have been so supportive."
Male fans everywhere are in mourning.
