FANS have claimed they saw more of Rovers-supporting Doctor Who Matt Smith than they were supposed to on Saturday night.

In new episode The Lodger, which aired on BBC One on Saturday evening and guest starred Gavin And Stacey's James Corden, the Timelord dropped his towel as he left the bathroom.

Viewers claimed that by freeze framing the show at 15 minutes and ten seconds they caught a glimpse of Matt's manhood.

But a BBC spokesperson said: "Fans might speculate about what they saw.

"But I can assure them that Matt wasn't totally naked when he filmed these scenes. He was sporting an item to protect his modesty."

Matt, was born in Northampton, but he has inherited his father's love of Rovers.

His dad David was brought up in Darwen, and during one interview revealed he has an auntie still living in the town.
