Facts
Georgia is the daughter of Fifth Doctor Peter Davison and actress Sandra Dickinson. After meeting on the set of The Doctor's Daughter, she and Tenth Doctor David Tennant struck up a relationship, and married in 2011. The couple have five children: Ty was Georgia's first child from a previous relationship, but he was adopted by David in 2012 and changed his name to Tennant; the couple have subsequently become parents to Olive, Wilf, Doris and Birdie. Georgia and David's marriage means that 'the Doctor's daughter' is also the Doctor's wife, and that Georgia's children have the Doctor (or a Doctor) as both their father and grandfather! As if that wasn't odd enough, the Fifth Doctor has his future self as his own son-in-law, and his real-life daughter as his fictional 'daughter'! In 2014, Georgia was one of the celebrities who had nude photos hacked and leaked via the website 4chan. In 2018, Georgia was diagnosed and successfully treated for cervical cancer. Georgia's grandfather, Harold Searles (her mum's dad), was a pioneer of psychiatric medicine, specialising in the psychoanalytic treatment of schizophrenia.
