David, who portrayed the Doctor between 2005 and 2010, met actress Georgia – whose dad Peter Davison played the part in the 1980s – while filming an episode of the BBC show in 2008

David Tennant has described his relationship with wife Georgia as “unlikely”, and that marrying her felt “a bit stupid” because he and her dad both starred in Doctor Who.

Georgia, 35, admitted she and David, 49, only got together because she worked so hard on wooing him that she was almost like “a stalker”.

The pair, who wed in 2011 and have five kids, also spoke about how their youngest child Birdie almost died weeks after birth but was saved by the NHS.
