Foxes covers Queen in new ‘Doctor Who’ episode – watch

Singer plays a jazz musician performing 'Don't Stop Me Now' on The Orient Express

Foxes‘ cameo in the new episode of Doctor Who has appeared online ahead of the story’s transmission on BBC1 tomorrow (October 11).

The Southampton-born singer plays a jazz singer covering Queen’s ‘Don’t Stop Me Now’ in a story entitled Mummy On The Orient Express which also stars comedian Frank Skinner as a railway engineer. Foxes’ performance can be seen below.

Foxes has previously discussed how her appearance on the show came about by chance after the production team saw her in concert. She said: “I got chatting to the production team after they saw me in concert and told them how much I love the show. Next thing, they invite me to be on it. I can’t think of a better place to make my acting debut than on one of the UK’s most iconic shows.”
