David Tennant returning to Doctor Who? Net worth, partner and what he's been in since

It’s Jodie Whittaker’s final outing as The Doctor in 2022, as she sets up to bow out in style with an epic battle against The Master, The Daleks and The Cybermen.

She took over from Peter Capaldi in 2017, becoming the first woman to play the time lord in the history of the show.

Now though, in a new shocking twist, Coral bookmakers have got Doctor Who legend David Tennant, 51, as the number one odds-on favourite to become the next Doctor and replace Whittaker.

They have him as the clear frontrunner for the next person to take up the coveted role at 4-5, head and shoulders above the next placed Lydia West at 4-1.

But what has Tennant, who played the time lord between 2005 and 2010, been up to since stepping away from the role 12 years ago - what is his net worth and does he have a partner?

What has David Tennant done since Doctor Who?

What is David Tennant’s net worth?

Given the enormous amount of work David Tennant has completed in the past 12 years, it will come as no surprise that he is estimated to be worth a huge £5.7 million according to Celebrity Net Worth.

According to ScreenRant, Tennant took home £1m per season he did for each of his seasons at The Doctor, doing three in total.
