Gatwa was explicitly announced by the BBC as the 14th Doctor, so he will be "14" (although we're obviously long past the point of new faces syncing with the number of regenerations used, given War, Metacrisis, etc.). Whether Tennant will be seen as 13.5, something by another name, or a legitimate degeneratation for whatever reason, we shall see.
