David, 55, who plays Lord Baddingham on the series, looked dapper for the occasion in a dark velvet suit paired with a silver brooch.

Georgia, 41, turned heads in a turquoise long-sleeved mini dress with a cut-out detail on the chest and boosted her frame with silver open-toe heels. Olive, 15, joined them in a black dress with matching heels.

Olive appears alongside her real-life dad in this series of Rivals, starring as Lord Baddingham’s daughter Camilla. She has also appeared in the film You, Me And Him in 2017 and the 2021 drama Belfast.

David and Georgia Tennant's family life

David and Georgia share five children together. They married in 2011, the same year Olive was born, and the Doctor Who actor also adopted Georgia’s son Ty, 24, from a previous relationship.

"My baby is almost a year old, and I adopted my wife’s boy last year as well, so I became a father twice in six months. That’s got to be something of a record, hasn't it?" David told Absolute Radio in 2012.

They welcomed Wilfred in 2013, Doris in 2015, and their youngest Birdie in 2015.

Ty has also followed his parents into show business, appearing as Tom Gresham in War Of The Worlds and the young Aegon II Targaryen in Game Of Thrones.

Wilfred, who uses they/them pronouns, also appeared in You, Me And Him with Olive, and they landed a role in BBC drama Casualty in 2022.

According to IMDb, they will next appear in the film Ladies First alongside Sacha Baron Cohen, Richard E. Grant and Rosamund Pike. It tells the story of a male chauvinist who is transported to a matriarchal society where he is challenged by a female version of himself.

David previously spoke about raising a 'sofa full' of children during an appearance on The Jonathan Ross Show in 2019. "It is great. It’s a lot of work but there’s nothing like it really," he said.

Although many of his children are pursuing acting careers, David has insisted he and Georgia are wary of sharing too much about them.

"As our relationship was born out of people trying to stick lenses through windows, it’s taken us a long time to slough off that residual nervousness about sharing anything," he told The Guardian in 2020.
