David Tennant’s wife Georgia Moffett couldn’t resist making a cheeky comment about his TV Baftas snub while celebrating their anniversary.
The Doctor Who star, 54, missed out on the leading actor gong for his role as egotistical television controller Lord Tony Baddingham in the Disney+ hit Rivals at the awards ceremony on Sunday.
He lost out to Lennie James for Mr Loverman, after being nominated for the accolade alongside Gary Oldman for Slow Horses, Richard Gadd for Baby Reindeer, Martin Freeman for The Responder, and Toby Jones for Mr Bates vs The Post Office.
Georgia playfully ribbed her “Bafta-less” husband on Tuesday while commemorating 17 years since their started dating.
The actress - who met David in 2008 and shares five children with him - shared a series of sweet photos of the couple and the actor with their kids on Instagram.
“17 years since we became us. I am so relieved I get to do it all with you. My kind, funny, relentlessly generous, Bafta-less love. You are it x,” she captioned it.
David and Georgia met on the set of hit BBC series Doctor Who when she played Jenny, the genetically engineered daughter of his character, The Time Lord.
They married three years later on New Year’s Eve at London’s Globe Theatre in 2011.
David adopted Georgia's son, Ty, 23, from a previous relationship, and they have three daughters, Olive, 12, Doris, eight, and Birdie, four, and a son, Wilfred, 10.
The couple has a typically playful relationship on social media, with Georgia grilling her husband back in February over his “anxiety” at hosting the Film Baftas for the second year in a row.
Meanwhile, last week it was revealed that David’s show Rivals will return with an extended 12-episode second series as filming begins this month.
Set in the Cotswolds in the 1980s, the Jilly Cooper adaptation follows the high-stakes world British television as careers, marriages and reputations hang by a thread when professional and personal lives collide.
David will reprise his role along with the original cast including The Boys star Alex Hassell, Irish actor Aidan Turner, The IT Crowd star Katherine Parkinson, and Black Lightning actress Nafessa Williams.
Danny Dyer will also return to play businessman Freddie Jones for which he won the British Press Guild Award for best actor and the RTS Television Award for supporting actor.
