Doctor Who star David Tennant has decided to become more domesticated and learn how to cook.

Since leaving the BBC show Doctor Who, the 38-year-old Scottish star has taken up gardening and cooking.

Despite the doctor’s ability to save the world on the hit show, he said he needs to work on improving his domestic skills.

He said: “Those basic life skills seem to have escaped me and maybe now’s the time to make then my hobby.

“Cooking is not something that comes naturally to me, so I’m working my way through a couple of cookbooks to teach myself.”

Also trying his hand at gardening, the Scot added: “I’m trying to teach myself how not to kill plants, which I do manage to have the skill for.

“I’d like to be a little more nurturing with my garden.”
