David Tennant reveals nasty injury he got filming sex scene for Rivals

David Tennant has done a perfect job of reminding us all that, while sex scenes may look sexy on-screen, filming them is anything but.

The Doctor Who legend, 54, stars in Rivals, a Disney+ period comedy-drama based on the novel by Jilly Cooper.

Cooper’s involvement should give you a hint of what the show involves, but for those unacquainted with her romance writing, Ben Shephard had the perfect descriptor.

As Tennant sat opposite him on the This Morning sofa today, the host began: ‘One of the things that strikes you when you watch the first series (of Rivals) is it was quite a physically amorous series for many of the cast members.’

Cracking up immediately, Tennant asked: ‘What are you suggesting?’

‘Well, I’m suggesting you were at it a lot, all of you, if you want me to be a bit more explicit,’ Shephard quipped.
