Biography

Born in Leeds, West Yorkshire, Mandip Gill demonstrated a love of acting from an early age, and she ultimately studied performing arts at Park Lane College. She then attended the University of Central Lancashire, from which she graduated in 2009 with a Bachelor of Arts (Honours) degree in Acting. Gill spent several years on the stage before she was cast in Hollyoaks, on which she remained for three and a half years. Subsequent credits included episodes of Doctors, The Good Karma Hospital and Love, Lies And Records. In 2018, Gill debuted as Yasmin Khan in the Doctor Who season premiere, The Woman Who Fell To Earth. It was also Jodie Whittaker's initial adventure as the Thirteenth Doctor, and Yaz would make history as the first companion to effectively accompany a Doctor for the entire period between regenerations. The two actresses left together in 2022's The Power Of The Doctor.

While she was co-starring in Doctor Who, Gill made her feature film debut in 2019's The Flood. During the COVID-19 pandemic, she appeared in the interactive movie Five Dates.
