David Tennant is a happy dad-of-five after he and his wife, Georgia, welcomed their fifth child, daughter Birdie, back in October 2019. However, he previously revealed that his eldest son, 17-year-old Ty, was not impressed by the news.

The Doctor Who star joked about his son's hilarious reaction on The Graham Norton Show, explaining: "We have number five child on the way. It's very exciting. There is a big spread of ages, with a 17 year old at one end. When he found out about the new baby, he was like, 'You're having another one?' It's odd when a 17-year-old is giving his parents a lecture on birth control!"

"You just told me you and your wife, the lovely Georgia, are expecting your fifth child." David replied: "What's really weird about it is we're now getting lectures on birth control from our 17-year-old son. And that's definitely meant to be the other way around. He's like 'Come on, do I need to teach you the basics?' It's mental. It's a lot."

David usually keeps his private life behind closed doors, but once opened up about his marriage to the Guardian after the journalist joked that it was as if he'd deliberately picked a partner who was the daughter of a Doctor, he responded: "That's exactly what I did, yes, and there were very few candidates available. It was a limited field."
