Pestering, worrying (9)

I believe the answer is:

badgering

I believe this is a double definition.

'pestering' is the first definition.
('badger' can be a synonym of 'pester')

'worrying' is the second definition.
(I know that worrying can be written as badgering)

(Other definitions for badgering that I've seen before include "Annoyingly demanding" , "Bugging" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
