David Tennant’s wife Georgia shared a sweet tribute to the actor in an Instagram post on Tuesday, as they celebrated 17 years since they first started dating.

The couple, who met on the set of Doctor Who in 2008, married on New Year’s Eve in 2011 and share five children.

Posting a gallery of snaps from throughout their relationship, Georgia gushed about her ‘kind, funny and relentlessly generous’ spouse.

However, she also took the chance to poke fun at her husband after he once again missed out on a win for a BAFTA Television Award over the weekend, despite being nominated for his role in the Disney+ series Rivals.

Georgia’s caption read: ’17 years since we became us. I am so relieved I get to do it all with you. My kind, funny, relentlessly generous, Bafta-less love. You are it x.’

The couple met in 2008, when Georgia starred in the BBC hit series Doctor Who, as she took on the role of David’s character’s genetically engineered daughter Jenny, and they married three years later.

David adopted Georgia’s son, Ty, 23, from a previous relationship, and they went on to have three daughters, Olive, 12, Doris, eight, and Birdie, four, and a son, Wilfred, 10.

The acclaimed star had been nominated for Leading Actor in a Drama for his role in Rivals, but missed out on the gong to Lennie Jamies for Mr Loverman.

Despite earning praise for his role in Rivals, with filming for a second series currently underway, ITV’s hope to turn the into one of their new faces has failed as his latest show has been one of the channel’s biggest rating flops in years.

The actor hosted Genius Game, which cost ITV more than £2.5million to make. 

Despite the channel investing in the former Time Lord, the viewing figures, which were released this week, showed only an average of 739,000 people tuned in.  

BBC One’s Race Across the World on Wednesday and Channel 4 documentary, Madeleine McCann: The Unseen Evidence both thrashed the game show. 

A television insider told The Sun: ‘The Genius Game was a reflection of ITV’s rush to create the next big challenge show following the huge success of The Traitors.

‘They chose Tennant as he’s such a household name, although his not-insubstantial fee also inflated the cost of making the programme. Yet despite pumping so much money into the show, it hasn’t delivered ratings wise.’

The prime-time reality game-show sees contestants compete in a series of mental challenges.

During the first show, Genius Game kicked off with an average of 1.2million watching but by episode two that had dramatically dropped to 846,000.

This week the ratings plummeted again and ITV have announced that it will be cutting the show from two episodes a week to one. 

Meanwhile Race Across the World, which aired at the same time on BBC One, had an average rating of 3.3million.

A spokesperson for ITV has since said that Genius Game has gained extra viewers on catch-up on ITVX. 

They said: ‘Genius Game remains in the peak schedule on ITV1 at 9pm on Wednesdays and is available to view on ITVX.

‘Episode one (shown on Wednesday, April 30) has so far consolidated with 1.9million viewers. Episode two is currently up to 1.3million.’
