FORMER Doctor Who star David Tennant was a surprise visitor this week in 2010.
The actor left the Tardis behind as he caught the Cal Mac ferry to Millport with his blonde actress girlfriend Georgia who he married in 2011.
The Scottish celebrity was filming a new movie “The Decoy Wife” in Kilbirnie but decided to venture down the coast and enjoy a nostalgic trip to Millport.
David used to come regularly to the island as a schoolboy when his father, Sandy McDonald, used to run the summer mission.
The Broadchurch actor was served by Ramona Giorgetti in the seafront cafe.
She said: "I ran and told all the staff. He asked for a double cone - strawberry and vanilla, which my dad Luigi served him. His dad apparently used to live in Kames Bay so I think he was visiting for a bit of nostalgia. He was a lovely guy and really nice and happy."
