David Tennant Suffers Knee Injury Filming Rivals Sex Scene

David Tennant revealed during an appearance on This Morning that he suffered an embarrassing knee injury while filming a sex scene in the hit Disney+ series Rivals. The injury occurred when he launched himself onto a wooden bed and collided with the bed frame, leaving him on the floor wearing only a modesty pouch. Tennant and others involved in the series have discussed how the show's numerous intimate scenes are physically demanding and sometimes lead to accidents. Rivals, based on Jilly Cooper's novel, is set in the 1980s and explores the cutthroat world of independent television, with a cast that includes Danny Dyer and Katherine Parkinson. The series was well-received, leading to the commissioning of a second season, which promises more dramatic twists. Tennant's personal experience, including his injury, adds depth to his roles, such as his involvement in the new drama Hack, which retells the phone hacking scandal affecting celebrities like himself.
