POLDARK star Aiden Turner revealed he spent the entire last day of filming season five in bed with co-star Eleanor Tomlinson.
Fan of the period drama have been transfixed by the pair’s topsy-turvy relationship over the years, which has included passionate romps and furious rows.
However, Aiden reassured viewers that the final scenes are completely innocent and simply involved talking.
Speaking to the Radio Times, he said: “The very last scene I shot was just myself and Eleanor in the bedroom.
“So we spent the day in bed together, which was really strange. No love scenes or anything – just having a chat. All day just talking in bed, which felt right.
“I don’t think we planned it to be that day; it just happened with the scheduling. So that was really quite poignant. I think we were both thankful for that.”
Elizabeth’s death in series four has had a profound effect on Poldark.
He decides to spend more time with his loved ones and away from Westminster in the new episodes.
But this doesn’t last, as he’s forced to challenge the establishment while questioning his loyalties to King and country when an old friend comes to him asking for help.
Meanwhile, Demelza is facing danger closer to home, and George is courting corrupt powers that span the entire empire.
Demelza and Ross are also trying to repair their relationship.
Irish actor Aidan revealed his ex-soldier will be much “kinder” to his wife in the final run of episodes.
Speaking about how Ross’s life has moved on since the season four finale, Aidan told TV Times: “It’s moved on a considerable amount.
“He’s grown up a lot and has a better sense of responsibility.”

“He’s still impulsive and he has a natural attraction to menace, but I think all round he’s a better person.
“He’s certainly kinder to Demelza.”
The actor went on to say the relationship starts off in a place of “peace”, but hints there’ll be more ructions before long.
Poldark series 5 begins Sunday at 9pm on BBC One
