Move over Ross, here’s 2 new hunks
THE show’s female fans have thrilled at Aidan Turner’s topless torso. But in the latest series of Poldark two new heartthrobs are set to steal the limelight.
Tom York and Harry Richardson, who play Demelza’s brothers, say they will be the ones leaving viewers steamed-up in the third series of the BBC drama – with their own topless scenes. Turner, 33, insisted he will be keeping his clothes on and the only glimpse of Ross Poldark’s flesh will be ‘topless sleeping’.
Speaking at a preview screening of the first episode of series three, which airs next month, Richardson teased: ‘I think more than one of us gets our top off.’ A trailer showed that he and York will both bare their chests in the Cornish drama. Asked whether he had been to the gym to get toned he quipped ‘I don’t think anyone can compete with Aidan.’
His character, Drake, is expected to be involved in a romantic storyline with another new character, Elizabeth’s cousin Morwenna, played by Ellise Chappell.
