David Tennant says he's 'aware of repercussions' with ITVX Litvinenko series

David Tennant stunned fans with his unrecognisable appearance in his new ITVX drama Litvinenko.

The Bathgate-born actor starred as Alexander Litvinenko in the new drama telling the story of the ex-KGB officer's fatal poisoning in London in 2006, in the four-part mini-series. The show focuses on the police investigation into his murder and his widow Marina's 10-year search for justice.

The 51-year-old portrays the former spy, known affectionately as Sasha, who died after drinking tea laced with a radioactive substance. The Scots star transformed into the now-famous image of Litvinenko lying in his hospital bed following his poisoning.
