Georgia Moffett has revealed that she was punched in the face for real during the filming of Spooks: Code 9 - and was "pleased" by the experience.

The young actress, who plays psychology student Kylie in the futuristic show, told Digital Spy: "I got punched in the face! It was my fault though, because I was getting all like 'I wonder what it's like to be punched in the face?'

"Then after about two hours of shooting this scene I forgot to make eye contact with the guy, which is disastrous, and we misjudged where each other was and he just went [bang] at full pelt in my face."

Moffett, who recently starred in Doctor Who episode 'The Doctor's Daughter', confirmed that the footage of the punch made the final cut, saying: "It's in it! You can see the aftermath of it, which is me staggering around not knowing what's going on.

"We carried on, we're professional. It was fine! It's an experience that I'm quite pleased I had, because I wasn't punched in the face in an aggressive situation."

Her mother is American actress Sandra Dickinson ("The Hitch-Hikers Guide to the Galaxy") whilst her father is popular British actor Peter Davison ("All Creatures Great and Small", "Doctor Who", "At Home with the Braithwaites" etc).

She gave birth to a son, Tyler Moffett, when she was 17 years old.

After David Troughton, she is the second child of an actor who played the Doctor (Peter Davison) to have a speaking role in "Doctor Who" (1963) and/or "Doctor Who" (2005).

She was born the day before her parents' sixth wedding anniversary.

She was born just nine months after Colin Baker took on role of the Sixth Doctor, replacing her father as the Doctor.

Made her theatrical début as Mathilde Verlaine, wife of French poet Paul Verlaine, in the play 'Total Eclipse', at the Menier Chocolate Factory (March-May 2007).  See review for more.

Georgia has lived in Twickenham, the same suburb as her father, since 2006.

Georgia has two half-brothers, Louis and Joel.

When Georgia discovered she was pregnant at 16 she knew she didn't have the courage to tell her Father so she rang her stepmother Elizabeth Morton, and begged her to do it instead.

Georgia's relationship with her Where the Heart is co-star Adam Paul Harvey ended in 2006, contrary to some rumours he is not the father of her son.

Georgia's first television role was at the age of 14 as Nicki Davey in Peak Practice.

Casualty:

Georgia has appeared twice (so far) in the BBC Medical Drama Casualty. She played Elaine Walker in 2007 (S21 Ep34) along with Peter O'Brien. Peter O'Brien appeared in Doctor Who (The Waters of Mars).

Merlin:

Georgia plays Lady Vivian in Episode 10 (Sweet Dreams) the new Series 2 of Merlin. Angel Coulby, who plays Guinivere, appeared in the same Holby City episode (S7 Ep9) as Maxine Framley to Georgia's Emma Lenton. Angel Coulby also played Katherine in the Doctor Who story "Girl in the Fireplace" and has also appeared in The Bill. Colin Morgan, who plays the title role (Merlin), has also appeared in Doctor Who in the story "Midnight". The director of Episode 10 - Alice Troughton - also directed The Doctor's Daughter (the Doctor Who episode in which Georgia played Jenny).

Georgia: It was winter in Cardiff when we filmed and I was wearing very little, so you can imagine how cold that was. David [Tennant] kindly lent me his jacket between takes. I put it on, bent over and ripped the back of it. He's a good 6 foot-something and he's never ripped it; I'm 5 foot 2, put it on and destroyed it!

Georgia: (on her time filming on "Doctor Who") I spent the whole five weeks I was doing it in a daze that I was there. I didn't quite believe it. I still don't quite believe it. The first day I arrived there they took me to Make-Up via the inside of the TARDIS. I was just going 'oh my God!'

Georgia: I used to be painfully insecure - I still am up to a point - but nothing like I was. I used to dress to cover everything up and was not as confident as I am now. I began to realise that there's no point in trying to change who you are for anyone other than for yourself.

Georgia: (About her role in The Last Detective) I play a scantily-clad gangster's girl. Not surprisingly, Dad didn't feel at all comfortable seeing me in short skirts and high heels. The worst moment for us came when the director wanted us to flirt and gaze into each other's eyes. He's my dad, for goodness sake, and there are limits, even for actors!

Georgia: I can't believe that there is still a stigma attached to being pregnant at 16. But there is, people still have a huge problem with it. All the time I was carrying Ty I was aware of people staring at me in the street and nudging each other. I couldn't always hear what they were saying, but I knew they were thinking 'That poor baby having to be brought up by that slip of a girl'.

Georgia: (About her role in Fear, Stress and Anger) I haven't had the best of luck previously, as I always seem to get killed off - so this is a real novelty. It's also the first comedy I've done and the atmosphere on set is very jovial and jolly – and I get to see my dad a lot.

Georgia: At first I decided I wanted to do anything other than act. Then the acting bug got the better of me. I suppose it's in my genes.

Georgia: (About her character in Bonkers) Debbie seems empty-headed and tarty at first but she truly loves her fiancé and isn't really the evil cow she might appear at first. It's just that she wants to experience sex with a bigger man. Seeing me in those scenes was probably not going to be my parents' most exciting experience - especially for Dad.

Georgia: [on her father finding out she was pregnant at 16] It was a big shock for him. I think he even had to stop the car to take it all in. But you know Dad is so cool. He just rang me and said, 'Is this the right thing for you? Because the choices you make now are going to change your life forever'. I told him it WAS the right thing - and from that moment he supported me all the way.

Georgia: Fathers and daughters have a special kind of bond.
