Kinda... not really. In fact none of the Doctors incarnations have banged her that we "know of". Matt Smith was on Secret Diaries of a Call Girl, in which Billie Piper in the main character. Anyway... the two characters banged. Thats the screen cap of the afterglow.
The one character I wanted to see get resolved more than any other. Of all the companions since the show came back, she was my favorite, and I thought it was a horrible thing to take away all the person growth she made as a person by wiping out her memories, and reverting her back to her original humdrum self. Not the Doctor's fault, but the writers.
I keep hoping that, like Sarah Jane, she gets brought back in a later season some day, and there is a way to restore her memories, as I'm really getting frustrated with the tragic endings so many of the Doctor's companions meet

I think Ten was fated to have all his companions go through some sort of tragedy caused by him. Personally, I think Donna had it the worse, especially when she begs him not to let her go back.
I initially didn't like Donna. I remember thinking 'this is going to be painful to watch' but her character just go so involved and made such a difference to Ten that by the time we came to her having her memories wiped I was in tears.
It is why when people go on about how tragic Rory and Amy's leaving of the Doctor was, I disagree. They got to live out their lives with each other and most likely get visits from their daughter (or at least one we know of). They still have their memories of the Doctor and the TARDIS as well as all the little life lessons they learnt while running around saving the world/universe/whatever it was they actually did.
Donna has none of that. Just sympathetic looks from her mother and grandfather, and maybe dreams which she would dismiss.
Added to that is the fact that Ten was her best friend and her grandfather ultimately caused his death. Even if she somehow came back, she would learn that she is a stranger to her best friend and he is a stranger to her.
No matter how you look at it, Donna really has the most tragic ending of them all.

^I sobbed openly when Donna went back. No shame.
I am glad to see others actually saying something nice about Donna. She started out as this loud mouth tosser and ended up a fantastic character that I missed dearly and sobbed like a baby when she had her mind wiped. I felt so awful that she grew so much and ended up becoming just... her old self in the end. What is worse? Although the new Donna would have probably looked at the Lottery win given to her by Ten on his last goodbye as something fantastic, but would have been more level headed with it, most likely old Donna blew it on stupid things and ended up broke anyway.
I agree. Donna's story is truly the most tragic. She blossomed into this fantastic character that I was rooting for at the end, when in the beginning her voice was like fingernails on a chalkboard, and I found her more than annoying! She became one of my favorite companions.
