Jodie Whittaker DOCTOR Who fans are facing a “gap year” with no series to watch during 2019, after filming was pushed back by more than three months.

Viewers of the hit sci-fi show could be in for a long wait to see Jodie Whittaker, 35, return for a The £6million home and, right, Victoria inside the house DAVID and Victoria Beckham were left “devastated” after masked raiders tried to break into their €6.8million Cotswold home.

Police were called to the sixbedroom property in Great Tew, Oxfordshir­e, after the couple’s 24-hour security team raised the alarm.

And David is “furious” that his family’s safety could have been put at risk.

They are understood to have been on their way to Australia when the attempted break in took place. Victoria was pictured looking distressed as the family arrived in Sydney.

One of the attempted burglars wore a balaclava while another wore an all-in-one suit.

Son Cruz, 13, draped a loving arm over his mum’s shoulder as they went out for a pizza together – just days after David described the couple’s marriage as “hard work”.

After a teaser of the interview was released last week, reports claimed Victoria, 44, spent two days crying.

The full interview aired on Australian TV show The Sunday Project yesterday.

David, 43, discussed criticism of their 19-year marriage. He said: “I’ve grown to ignore some of the negative stuff that is said.”

Asked how he sustains his marriage to Victoria, David explained: “I think marriage is always about hard work. To be married for the amount of time we have, it’s always hard work, everybody knows that, but you make it work.”
