The second installment of the drama will hit screens this week but fans won't have to wait too long for the next batch of episodes as the 30-year-old actor and strawberry blonde beauty have let slip that work on it has already begun.

Speaking on 'The One Show' on Thursday (01.09.16) night, guest presenter Bill Turnbull asked the pair: "You're just about to start series three already?"

And Jack replied: "We start filming that next week. It's been a long time since we finish to being on."

Jack portrays antagonist banker George Warleggan - who is the enemy of Ross Poldark (played by Aidan Turner) - and he has admitted he thoroughly enjoys his fight scenes.

He said: "Those scenes with Aidan are great, they're buzzy, they're long-awaited, we don't have many of them. When we get to sit across a table and talk to each other - it's fun!"

Meanwhile, Eleanor, 24, plays Poldark's wife Demelza in the show and has admitted there are some feisty scenes between her alter ego and George in the next series.

She explained: "I get very nervous working with Jack. He's so good, he keeps me on my toes all the time!"

And, although she currently has beautiful golden locks, she has admitted her natural hair colour is blonde.

She said: "I'm not sure why [she's ginger] I just thought it would add to her feistiness and fiery temper, so red it was!"
