The 36-year-old actor - who stars as Captain Ross Poldark in the hit BBC One series - has confessed he took a few momentos from the set to use at his new London house.

He told The Sun newspaper's Bizarre TV column: "I took the kitchen table and the benches - they're in my house in London. No, [they're not out of place], they're perfect."

Meanwhile, Poldark's writer Debbie Horsfield previously revealed the show could return for a sixth series - if the BBC want it.

The upcoming fifth series of the 18th century period drama has been billed as the last but Debbie has insisted there is enough material for another series, if the channel are keen.

Speaking at a preview screening of the series, she said: "Never say never. We've had an amazing run but there are five books left and who knows what could happen in a few years. The BBC would need to say that they wanted more and we'd take it from there."

It was confirmed last year that the fifth series would be the last.

Horsfield said at the time: "In 'The Stranger from the Sea' Winston Graham made many references to developments that happened in the 'gap' years. Much can also be inferred.

"There are, of course, also historical events and people of the time, both in Cornwall and in London. Series five will draw on all of these to follow the lives of the Poldarks, George Warleggan, the Enyses, and the Carnes in this intervening period."

Whilst Andrew Graham, the son of Winston Graham, the author who penned the novels on which the show is based, said: "No-one can know what my father would have felt about the forthcoming series, let alone what he might have written. However, Debbie Horsfield has demonstrated such an extraordinary affinity with his work and shown such remarkable skill in bringing his Poldark characters to the screen that we know we are in safe hands. Indeed, without her, the [Winston Graham] Estate would not have agreed to series five in this form."
