Coldplay Shines for "Doctor Who" Star Jodie Whittaker's "Yellow" Charity Cover with Surprise Appearance [VIDEO]

Children in Need is an annual charity event on BBC television in the United Kingdom, and Doctor Who has a long history of supporting the effort. Every year, BBC One usually has a telethon while showcasing special sketches and scenes from popular shows. This year, Children in Need recorded charity album Got It Covered, where acclaimed actors were invited to sing a cover of a favourite song.

Jodie Whittaker chose to cover "Yellow" by Coldplay. In the clip, Jonny Buckland and Will Champion of Coldplay show up to surprise the heck out of her. Brit and Mercury award-winning producers and songwriters Guy Chambers and Jonathan Quarmby help the actors cover their songs. The album was recorded at the Rak and Abbey Road Studios in London. Vocal coach Mark De-Lisser also helped the actors through their songs.

Watch the Doctor sing! Watch the Doctor fangirl! Bless.
