Thankfully, it was Barrowman to the rescue in Wednesday night's show.
The Torchwood actor kindly gave up his bed in Croc Creek for her, but – perhaps more importantly – he realised she was a Doctor Who super-fan.
The two Whovians discussed the show – and when Hegerty said that her all-time favourite Doctor was actually Barrowman's co-star David Tennant, there was of course a massive high-five.
Barrowman played the Doctor's time-travelling companion Captain Jack Harkness, before starring in his own spin-off show, Torchwood.

"If you need a hand, just holler and The Captain will come and help you," he told her.
Later, in the Bush Telegraph, an emotional Barrowman recalled: "There was one point where her face lit up, and that was very nice to see... I'm just a big soppy cow!"
