Karen Gillan has dismissed claims that the current series of Doctor Who is too sexy.

The BBC received complaints after airing a recent episode of the show, which saw Gillan's character Amy Pond attempting to seduce the Doctor (Matt Smith).

However, Gillan has now denied suggestions that the show is setting a bad example to young viewers.

"We're not sending out bad messages because the Doctor isn't reciprocating," she told The Mirror. "And actually, people who do find that quite raunchy: really?"

Gillan also joked that she wouldn't rule out more romantic scenes on the show after kissing both the Doctor and Rory (Arthur Darvill).

"I bring the best out in them," she said. "For the Christmas special? Who knows. Another kiss would be fine."

Doctor Who continues on Saturday at 7pm on BBC One.
