David Tennant wants his kids to 'grow up free and be themselves'

David Tennant has opened up about his kids' future saying that he wants them to "grow up free and be able to be themselves". The Scots Doctor Who actor has been speaking on a podcast and added "the things that we always assumed were sacrosanct aren’t any longer."

The father-of-five will be returning to the BBC classic science-fiction programme for a short time later this year, after fans were left shocked when in Jodie Whittaker's final episode, she regenerated into David Tennant. Fans had been expecting it to be Ncuti Gatwa, who had been confirmed as the new Doctor.

Tennant played the Doctor from 2005 to 2010, and has been speaking to Wholala: A Doctor Who Podcast, where he said: "I want to know that my kids will grow up free and able to be themselves. The things that we always assumed were sacrosanct aren’t any longer.
