The teenager accused of stabbing three little girls to death once starred as Doctor Who for a Children in Need promotional video for the BBC, MailOnline can reveal.
Axel Rudakubana wore a brown trench coat and tie as he emerged from the Tardis for a 2018 BBC fundraising clip.
The now 17-year-old starred alongside four child actors dressed as other incarnations of the Doctor for the promo called 'It's time to do your thing'.
The BBC and the child talent agency who had employed him both deleted the video today as the association emerged.

The video is understood to have been shot on location in nearby Blackpool in early 2018.
The talent agency - which is co-run by Laura Beckford, wife of former Everton footballer Jermaine Beckford, and her older brother Andrew - declined to comment, but managers are understood to be ‘very upset’ at learning of the association.
The agency last night deleted a series of Facebook posts about Axel's budding acting career.
One promoting the video read: 'Look out for Ology superstar Axel in the new promo for Children In Need!!'.
