She added: 'I finished filming this morning at 2.30am, I text Daniel knowing he was out asking if he needed picking up, he did.. it's that simple.'

And her fans were quick to take her side: 'How dare a working mother look tired! The shame of it. Take no notice', said one.

This follower was full of praise for the 'good wifey': 'And who wouldn't at that time and what a good wifey to come out and pick him up #histurnnexttime'.

While another joked that this was ‘normal’ behaviour: ‘Normal newlyweds behaviour. 5 years time you'll be txting him to be quiet when he brings his own drunk ass home

It was previously claimed that the couple, who share two-year-old daughter Ella, weren't too chatty with each other when they attended the recent My Little Pony: The Movie premiere in London.

A source told Star magazine: 'It didn't look like the glitz and sparkle of Ponyville had rubbed off on poor Dan and Jac, who both looked thoroughly miserable.

'I didn't see them exchange so much as a word; the only time they smiled was for the photographer.'
