DAVID Tennant says home schooling his children in lockdown has been a “challenge”.
The Staged star, 45, has five children with his actress wife Georgia Moffett.
He said: “We’re lucky that we’ve got space, although we do have quite a lot of children so we have got quite a full house!”
The former Doctor Who star admitted: “Home schooling was challenging.
“Obviously my wife Georgia was ultimately in charge because she’s better at organising things than I am.
“But between us we’d wrestle one child into a corner.”
The actor, who is back in a new series of comedy-drama There She Goes, said: “You very quickly recognise the gaps in your own knowledge.
“It’s not, ‘How do I do long division?’
“It’s, ‘How do they teach long division now because it’s all changed?’”
Tennant added: “I’ve always respected teachers for what they do, but oh my goodness I’m very glad they exist!”
