David Tennant walked out of a performance of Catherine Tate's new play after Doctor Who fans started causing disruption, according to a report.
Tate, who played The Doctor's companion Donna Noble in the most recent series, is currently appearing in Under The Blue Sky in London's West End.
Tennant showed his support for his former co-star by turning up for a performance this week, but was reportedly horrified when Who obsessives began singing the show's theme and waving sonic screwdrivers.
"Fans had heard he was going to watch former Doctor Who star Catherine, so they turned up in force, complete with props," a source told the Daily Star. "He was very charming and friendly with them during the interval, but he was rightly disgusted when they disrupted her performance by singing the show's music and waving their sonic screwdrivers.
"Catherine is a pro, so she ignored them. But David knew the only way to stop them was by getting up and leaving."
Tennant is currently appearing in the lead role of a Royal Shakespeare Company production of Hamlet.
