Aidan Turner may have won legions of fans for his propensity to strip off, but not everyone is happy about it...

In news that is surprising two-fold: the Scything Association is something that exists and they are not happy with Aidan's portrayal of Captain Ross Poldark.

The Poldark actor revealed all on The Graham Norton Show, admitting that he rubbed the chairman of the Scything Association up the wrong way when he 'ignored' his tips.

'The chairman of the Scything Association came to give me lessons but I didn't think the proper way to do it looked very impressive so I just went for it,' Aidan explained.

Referring to one of the many shirtless scenes he's undertaken as Ross Poldark, Aidan added: 'He tried to give me notes but I didn't take any notice and he left in a bit of a huff.'

Poldark returns to BBC One on Sunday, June 10. The series airs on PBS in the US.

The Graham Norton Show welcomes Aidan, Ethan Hawke, Toni Collette, Jo Brand and Liam Payne tonight, airing at 10.35pm on BBC One.
