David Tennant and wife Georgia welcome a baby girl


David Tennant and his wife Georgia Moffett have had a baby girl.
The 'Broadchurch' actor has confirmed the couple have welcomed a fourth child into their home in recent weeks.
David - who has two children, daughter Olive, four, and two year-old son Wilfred, with Georgia and is stepfather to her son Ty, 13, from a previous relationship - confirmed the joyous news on the Christian O'Connell Breakfast Show on Absolute Radio on Tuesday (10.11.15) when the radio presenter asked him about his growing "brood".
David, 44, replied: "I know, number four has arrived, yeah."
Christian continued: "Wow, what is it, like The Waltons round there at The Tennant household?"
David laughingly added: "I know, it's getting a bit ... it's a bit of a brood!"
Radio presenter Christian - who was co-hosting his show with the former 'Doctor Who' star - went on to joke that the busy actor is like a travelling serviceman who pops home every now and then for "amorous" nights in with his wife.
He then quizzed the actor on the family's Christmas plans, to which David quipped: "It certainly is (busy), a sleepless Christmas I suspect!"
Though few other details were revealed about the tot such as a name or date of birth, David would confirm the newborn is "a little girl" and sounded delighted when he stated he and Georgia, 30, have now "got two of each".
Christian though couldn't resist making another gag at David's expense, describing him as having the "look of a new dad ... haunted" and stating that he could see the strain in his "eyes".
The couple met when Georgia had a guest role in 'Doctor Who' opposite David in the 2008 episode 'The Doctor's Daughter'.
The family's connection to the BBC One sci-fi show is deep-rooted as Georgia's father Peter Davison played the titular Time Lord between 1981 and 1984.
David's Tenth Doctor and Peter's Fifth Doctor even appeared opposite each other in the 'Time Crash' mini-episode for 'Children In Need' in 2007.

Tony Hadley part of official I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! line-up


Tony Hadley, Chris Eubank and Lady Colin Campbell are among the stars set to appear on 'I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here!' 2015.
The Spandau Ballet frontman is one of 10 celebrities who have been officially confirmed for the upcoming series of the hit reality show.
The 55-year-old star - who has admitted he doesn't like cockroaches ahead of his stint in the jungle - plans to offer his fellow campmates a shoulder to cry on but has confessed he will miss his wife and five kids.
Asked who his dream campmate would be, he said: "Shane Richie, Rick Astley and Bobby Davro would be such a laugh."
However, Tony will have to make do with the celebrities that have been selected to join him and they include former boxing champion Chris and royal biographer Lady Colin.
Also set to arrive in Australia to compete in the famous Bushtucker trials are 'Hollyoaks' actress Jorgie Porter, former 'Dragon's Den' star Duncan Bannatyne, 'What Not To Wear's Susannah Constantine, retired footballer Kieron Dyer, choreographer Brian Friedman, 'Most Haunted' presenter Yvette Fielding and Union J's George Shelley.
Revealing his fears before heading to camp, the 22-year-old singer said: "I know it sounds ridiculous to have a phobia of moths but I do. As a kid, I got told a story about how moths are the ghosts of ancestors or something and there is a video of me running away from a moth! It's hilarious.
"What trials am I dreading then? Ones that involve four-legged animals. As for the eating ones, well I like my food - but food that tastes nice!"
The announcement comes after it was claimed the majority of the stars in the official line-up as well as reality TV stars Vicky Pattison, Ferne McCann and Spencer Matthews were set to appear on the show.
'I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here!' starts this Sunday November 15 at 9pm on ITV.

Strictly Come Dancing: Alison Hammond jealous of Aljaz and Helen


Alison Hammond says watching her 'Strictly Come Dancing' partner Aljaz Skorjanec with Helen George is like watching her "ex-boyfriend with someone hotter and fitter".
The 'This Morning' presenter was paired with Aljaz on the celebrity dance contest last year and has confessed she's a bit envious of his new partner, 'Call the Midwife' actress Helen.
Speaking exclusively to BANG Showbiz at the British Takeaway Awards at The Savoy Hotel in London last night (09.11.15), Alison admitted: "The only way I can describe it is it's like watching your ex-boyfriend with someone hotter and fitter, that's better at dancing than you. I'm devastated.
"But she's lovely, she's doing so well, but she has got the best teacher, I'm not going to lie."
The 40-year-old star is still close with her former dance partner and revealed he even breaks the rules by telling her whether or not he and Helen have made it through before the results show airs Sundays.
She shared: "He always sends me a message, you know, on the Saturday, and tells me who's gone because I just want to make sure he's still in and he's always like, 'I'm still in, babe!'
"We have actually got a lovely friendship out of it ['Strictly']."
And the former 'Loose Women' panelist can't wait for Aljaz to tie the knot with his fellow 'Strictly' star fiancee Janette Manrara.
She added: "I've bought my fascinator, I'm ready.
"I don't think they've booked the wedding yet but I'm sure I'll be on the front row."

EastEnders’ Honey and Billy Mitchell could rekindle romance


Emma Barton hopes Billy Mitchell will ask her character Honey Mitchell to marry him on her return to 'EastEnders'.
The actress' alter ego will be seen back in Walford this week and she hopes her ex-husband will want Honey back for good to reunite their family, which includes children William and Janet.
Asked if Honey and Billy should re-marry, she said: "I think it would be really sweet. Honey and Billy are very different to a lot of the couples on the Square. And I'd like to show that a young family can work through their issues. I think that's really important."
The 38-year-old star - who left the BBC One soap in 2008 after a three-year-stint - will be back in Albert Square with their son William from Canada to visit their Aunt Caroline, but things soon take a romantic turn between them.
Emma told RadioTimes.com: "There's always been a little spark between them. In some scenes last year, you saw that extra look being shared. And I think she always sees the best of him and knows he's always trying. She's always loved him - it's just that caring nature that Honey has. She'll always have that soft spot for him."
Emma admits it has been brilliant to be back acting opposite Perry Fenwick - who plays Billy - again and says the close working relationship they developed when presented with the past storyline that their daughter Janet would be diagnosed with Down's syndrome has remained.
She explained: "When we were given that opportunity to do the Down's syndrome storyline, we developed a very good working regime because we wanted to do the storyline justice. And I guess that brings you closer together as actors. You get a closer partnership."

Joey Essex not bothered if people think he’s stupid


Joey Essex thinks it's "funny" when people call him stupid.
The former 'Only Way Is Essex' star is famous for making stupid comments on the ITVBe show and even landed his own reality series 'Educating Joey Essex' off the back of them, but he's claimed he's a lot more intelligent than people think.
Speaking exclusively to BANG Showbiz at the British Takeaway Awards at The Savoy Hotel in London last night (09.11.15), Joey said: "I think it's quite funny. People call me stupid, but if they think I'm stupid, then they're stupid aren't they really?
"Don't get me wrong, if you give me a times table or a maths test I'd probably get an F or a U but anything else I'd get an A*."
The 24-year-old hunk added that while he doesn't think 'TOWIE' is as good as it was when he was part of the cast, he still enjoys watching it.
He said: "I'm really busy but I watch it, it's a good show. I enjoy it, I crease at it. You've got the Gatsby [Liam Blackwell] rapping. They're alright aren't they?"

Bushpig semen tipped for I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! trial


'I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here!' contestants could be asked to consume bushpig sperm as part of a Bushtucker Trial.
The "super gross" specimen is currently being tested in a laboratory to make sure it's fit for human consumption and producers have had to consult with lawyers to check if ingesting the ingredient is even legal.
David Morgan - who has joined spin-off show 'I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! NOW! this year - revealed: "There's a new ingredient for the eating challenges, it's super gross. We can't tell you. It's so bad they're trying to find out if they're legally allowed to give it to the celebrities. It's going through legal..."
Returning presenters Laura Whitmore and Joe Swash avoided revealing the name of the revolting sample, but did not deny the rumours that have been circulating when it was suggested it was the semen of a bushpig - a large, hairy member of the pig family.
Laura mused: "And how does one extract said..."
While Joe quickly added: "That should be a trial in itself."
And referring to Channel 5 reality show 'The Farm', where Rebecca Loos masturbated a boar to collect its semen, Morgan joked: "Maybe when Channel 5 buy the format..."
A spokesperson told Radio Times magazine the rumours that bushpig semen is being tested for the the trials are "pure speculation" and any trial is "subject to the same stringent health and safety regulations".
'Hollyoaks' actress Jorgie Porter, former boxing champion Chris Eubank and 'Made in Chelsea's Spencer Matthews are among the stars who have reportedly been confirmed for the upcoming series.
'I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here!' starts this Sunday November 15 at 9pm on ITV.

Vernon Kay jokes about Tess Daly’s Spanx at British Takeaway Awards


Vernon Kay joked that he was wearing a pair of his wife Tess Daly's pants at the British Takeaway Awards last night (09.11.15).
The 41-year-old presenter and his 'Strictly Come Dancing' star wife Tess were the hosts of the awards ceremony at The Savoy Hotel in London last night and he kicked off the night by joking about his love of takeaways.
Speaking at the event - hosted by Just Eat - Vernon said he'd already tucked into a Chinese takeaway, adding: "Don't worry, I've got a pair of Tess' Spanx on."
Tess - who has daughters Amber and Phoebe with her husband of 12 years - teased him back by saying that her control pants clearly hadn't had the desired effect.
She joked: "They're not working are they?"
The couple continued to poke fun at one another throughout the evening with Vernon joking that Tess "likes a big one" as he pulled out a selfie stick to take a picture of the guests.
In addition to the owners and employees of takeaways that had been nominated for the awards, a number of celebrity guests were also in attendance including former 'The Only Way Is Essex' stars Joey Essex and Lauren Pope, TV chef Ainsley Harriott, 'This Morning' presenter Alison Hammond, Atomic Kitten singer Liz McClarnon and 'Made in Chelsea' star Rosie Fortescue and her former co-star Millie Mackintosh.

X Factor’s Che Chesterman told to lose weight by producers


'The X Factor's Che Chesterman has been told to lose weight by producers after he was seen scoffing burgers and chips.
The talented contestant - who sailed through to the next round of the live shows following his stunning performance last weekend - has been told to ditch the greasy food and embark on an exercise regime to enhance his chances of success.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "A conversation took place between Che and the production team about how they might be able to help him lose weight.
"They suggested a few diet and exercise ideas that he could try out, and he seemed keen to take their advice on board."
However, rather than get disheartened by their apparent fat jibes, the 19-year-old star is keen to take on their advice.
The insider explained: "He's passionate about staying in the competition and is up for anything that might boost his appeal for the viewers' voting. But he was brilliant this week, and people really seem to be getting behind him, so at the moment he's definitely not in any trouble."
Meanwhile, Che, who is competing in Nick Grimshaw's boys category, will battle it out for a place in the next round this weekend (14.11.15) on ITV.
