David Tennant’s wife Georgia grilled the star over his BAFTAs hosting gig just hours before the star-studded event.
The Rivals star, 53, is set to front the biggest awards show in British film for the second time in a row on Sunday evening.
Georgia, 40, couldn’t resist probing her husband about his nerves the night before the big day, asking if he had any “anxiety” about hosting.
Filming herself lying in a white bathrobe on her Instagram Story on Saturday night, she said to the Doctor Who star: “Hey David... This is my first BAFTA blog.
“How are you feeling about presenting the BAFTAs for the second time tomorrow?”
Tennant, who was off-camera, could be heard replying in a light-hearted tone: “I’m fine about it! I think I’m fine about it.”
Georgia screwed up her face in irritation and told him: “It’s not great content though is it? You need to be a bit more like... I don't know, give me something!”
The Broadchurch star, who married Georgia in 2011, insisted: “I think it's going to be okay!”
When his wife rolled her eyes and sighed, he changed his tune and joked dramatically: “I think it's going to be awful.”
Georgia replied: “No, well, somewhere in the middle would be fine. ‘I'm feeling a bit anxious or something.’”
Tennant shot back, “Ah! I'm feeling a bit anxious!” prompting his wife to burst out laughing.
She shared an update on Sunday morning, telling fans the Scottish actor was up early and about to head to London’s Royal Festival Hall for the awards show.
Tennant said off-camera, “It’s quarter past eight and I'm about to leave for the Royal Festival Hall,” before joking: “This show doesn't just throw itself together!”
Earlier this week, the actor revealed he is steering clear of jokes that could make nominees uncomfortable at the BAFTAs.
Tennant told the Radio Times: “The BAFTAs are supposed to be kind. Last year we weren’t trying to roast people, but there was a joke about Cate Blanchett, and she looked a little bit annoyed, a little bit p***ed off.
“And I remember going, ‘Oh God, no. I think you’re brilliant. I was just trying to be witty and make a point about how you’ve got lots of prizes, and we love you.’”
He said his goal is to celebrate the industry rather than poke fun at attendees, explaining: “I think if I’ve learned anything, it’s probably that I’m not interested in picking fights or making anyone feel in any way uncomfortable. If I have a style, it’s only that.”
Last year, the theatre star lightly roasted Blanchett, who was sat next to the Prince of Wales, during his opening monologue.
When discussing the potential award winners, he said: “I always thought, like the seat planner would know and they'd put winners at the front, at the end of an aisle but no, they've got hidden cameras, they can pick you up anywhere so if you've got to scramble and climb over Cate Blanchett to get your hands on an award, that is what you do.”
He added with a smile: “It's a metaphor for the acting industry generally.”
