Tennant, 54, said he was too embarrassed to go ahead with the pictures and was then told the award would be given to somebody else. He chose not receiving the gong as one of his biggest regrets on the Where There's A Will, There's A Wake podcast. He said: "Back in the day I was told that I had won Rear of the Year. "I was absolutely delighted and thrilled. "I was ready to accept this honour until I found out that the precondition was you had to do a photoshoot in a specific pair of jeans exhibiting said rear. "I felt 'I don't think I can swallow my own embarrassment enough to do the photoshoot.' "At which point the award for Rear of the Year was taken off me and given to someone else who was willing to get in the jeans and coyly shove a cheek to camera. "So I regret that, although I still wouldn't have wanted to do the photoshoot. "I don't want to do the photoshoot - I just want the award." Launched by the PR consultant Anthony Edwards in 1976, Rear of the Year was initially awarded annually to the woman judged by the British public to have the nation's favourite bottom. A male award was created in 1986 and the contest was last held in 2021. Tennant landed the role of the Time Lord in 2005 and played it for four years before returning in 2023 for special episodes to mark the show's 60th anniversary. He became a massive hit with fans and helped make the BBC sci-fi series a huge ratings winner. 2 Doctor Who icon David Tennant was stripped of an award after refusing a photoshoot Credit: Getty He has recently appeared in Amazon Prime fantasy series Good Omens alongside Michael Sheen.
