Georgia Tennant quipped she ‘dines out’ on her famous husband David’s role as her dad in Doctor Who.

The English actress, 40, was introduced to the Scottish acting icon, 54, when she was cast as the genetically engineered daughter of his character, the Doctor, in the fourth series of hit fantasy BBC show.

The TV star told The Sunday Times: ‘My husband David played my dad — I dine out on that’, adding it makes her husband feel ‘old and it makes me feel young’.

Moreover, Georgia’s father and English actor Peter Davidson played the fifth incarnation of the Doctor between 1981 to 1984.

The couple tied the knot in 2011 and share four children together Olive, 14, Wilfred, 12, Doris, nine, and Birdie, five, while David also adopted Georgia’s son from a previous relationship, Ty.

The actress made a stylish outing on Sunday as she appeared in good spirits while departing Sunday Brunch studios following a TV appearance.

The Staged star turned heads in a salmon pink co-ord featuring a chic blazer and matching trousers.

She completed the look with a white top and a set of gold jewellery, keeping a flawless blow-dry on her outing.

The beloved BBC star was snapped stopping to sign autographs to a few lucky fans before whisking off.

Georgia’s candid admission comes after she shared a sweet tribute to the actor in an Instagram post earlier this month, as they celebrated 17 years since they first started dating.

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 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
