Aidan Turner reveals he's NAKED for most of his new TV show

Irish actor Aidan Turner has promised fans he’ll be naked a lot in his new TV series.

Aidan stars as Captain Ross Poldark in the remake of 1970’s hit Poldark and has revealed he doesn’t wear much clothing.

“If I could change anything about Ross Poldark I’d get him some clothes for the second episode,” he said.

The Irish hunk stars in the remake which initially attracted 18 million viewers in the 1970s.

With the original series having ended in 1977, it’s understandable that poor Aidan had never heard of it.

“The offer came in and I said, ‘what the hell’s Poldark?’ I had to Google it. Then I called my mum. She said: ‘You’d better not mess this up’,” he explained.

The series, which is set among the tin mines of 18th-century Cornwall will have an eight part run with a post-watershed 9pm slot.

“He has elements of Darcy, Heathcliffe, Rochester, Rhett Butler and Robin Hood – quite a combination,” she revealed.

“I was scared I’d emulate Robin’s performance, and I wanted to see what I could come up with myself,” Aidan said.

The first episode of Poldark airs March 8
