Billie then moved on to if they’ll win best show, while Lucy said: ‘I do not think we’ll win best show. I think a little domestic drama called The Crown will take it.’
When Billie asked if the show ‘deserved’ the award her pal gasped and the video ended.
Meanwhile, at the Ritz London, Weruche Opia, who is up for Best Supporting Actress in I May Destroy You, shared a glimpse of her preparations for the red carpet on Sunday night.
She posted a picture of a large bottle of wine chilling in an ice bucket before sharing a snap inside the car taking her to the star-studded event.
Ceremony hosts Stacey Dooley and Vick Hope will introduce the hologram guests to those actually at the socially distanced ceremony.
Of her red carpet role, Vick revealed last week: ‘If you’re anything like me, over the last year your WhatsApp groups will have been nonstop about a recent episode or moment in the latest TV drama, documentary, reality or even cooking show.

‘It’s made me fall in love with TV all over again, and it’s because of this that I think that the Virgin Media BAFTAs feels extra special this year.
‘To be able to chat directly with the TV fans who have voted for their favourite Must-See Moment nominee and connect them to their favourite stars via holograms live on the red carpet will be a unique, once in a lifetime experience.
‘I’m so excited to bring a bit of this magic to the fans at home, it’s going to be an emotional one.’
Vick shared a time lapse video of her time in the makeup chair as hair stylists and makeup artists worked their magic to create her flawless look for the night.
She slipped in a beautiful black satin dress which showcased her incredible lean figure and she accessorised with gold earrings and some matching necklaces.
Her hair was draped over one shoulders and flowed down her back and her makeup had a variety of pink hues to add a pop of colour to the look.

Her co-host Stacey also opted for a black outfit for the red carpet tonight.
The redhead beauty wore a short black dress with short puff sleeves and a low neck line.
She explained to her followers that she ‘feels the part’ in the glamorous attire and donned a heavy smokey eye for the outing.
COVID-19 restrictions mean TV fans can’t be in attendance on the red carpet as usual this year and some nominees won’t be able to attend because of filming bubbles.
All content will be captured by a live stream camera and will enable everyone at home to see the action unfold from the comfort of their living room.
Members of the public can watch a livestream of the red carpet and be a part of the glamour by visiting Virgin’s website from noon on Sunday.
They can also choose from a selection of digital red carpet outfits to help them get into the spirit of the Awards and get ready carpet ready.

Small Axe – which features five films that tell stories about lives of West Indian immigrants in London from the 1960s to the 1980s – also picked up two Leading Actor nominations with John Boyega and Shaun Parkes both receiving nods.
Letitia Wright, who also starred in the series, is up for the Leading Actress prize, and she will face competition from Billie Piper (I Hate Suzie), Daisy Edgar-Jones (Normal People), Hayley Squires (Adult Material), Jodie Comer (Killing Eve) and Michaela Coel (I May Destroy You).
Elsewhere, I May Destroy You star Paapa Essiedu will go up against John and Shaun for the Leading Actor award, as well as Normal People actor Paul Mescal, Baghdad Central’s Waleed Zuaiter, and The Crown’s Josh O’Connor.
The Crown received 10 nominations – four for TV and six for the craft categories – including a nod for the Drama Series accolade alongside I Hate Suzie, Save Me Too and Gangs of London.
Other nods included This Country, Man Like Mobeen, Inside No. 9, and Ghosts for the Scripted Comedy prize, and siblings and This Country creators Daisy May and Charlie Cooper received nominations for the Female and Male Performance in a Comedy Programme gongs, respectively.
The ceremony will be hosted by Richard Ayoade, while Stacey and Vick take charge of the red carpet presenting.
