The 31-year-old actor, who played Clara Oswald opposite Matt Smith's 11th Doctor and Capaldi's 12th Doctor between 2012 and 2015, said it is a great time as Whittaker has become the first female "Doctor Who", reported The Telegraph.
"Jodie is such a clever actress. I can't wait to see what she does. I just want to hear her speak. It's a really exciting time," Coleman said.
Whittaker had recently said it was a dream come true for her as an artiste to have bagged the titular role of "Doctor Who".
