Doctor Who's costume designer has joked that David Tennant was a "nightmare" to work with.

Louise Page, who has worked on the show for the past four years, told Doctor Who Magazine that Tennant would deliberately - but affectionately - wind her up.

"He was a nightmare," she said. "He walked around at lunch time with a knife and fork in his top pocket, which was convenient for him, but I'm sure he only did it when I was watching, to wind me up.

"The more I'd say, 'Don't do it', the more he would, for my benefit."

Page added that the Tenth Doctor's costume is the one which she is most proud of designing.

"It's the iconic look that will forever be linked to the Tenth Doctor. It's unusual for a costume designer's work to be exposed to so many different mediums other than on screen," she said.

"It makes me smile when I pass the children's birthday cake counter, and see my work staring back at me. That's surreal.

"To have created a look that's been so well received, and will remain in the Doctor Who history books forever, is a great honour."
