Last week's episode of Poldark caused outrage after Aidan Turner failed to take off his shirt to reveal his famous torso.

But the TV hunk looked in good spirits as he was spotted filming scenes for season 3 of the BBC series in Cornwall.

Dressed in a floor-length trench coat the cheeky chap, who plays Ross Poldark, laughed in delight as they shot on a beautiful lake.

Hunk: Aidan Turner looked in good spirits as he was spotted filming scenes for season 3 of the BBC series in Cornwall

And it's no wonder he looked so cheery, as the actor was tended to by two pretty make-up artists.

Tending to his flowing curly hair and costume, the women fussed over the heartthrob.

And looking in character in his button-up jersey and knee high boots, Aidan checked his phone in between filming scenes.

And the scenes look to be dramatic, as he is seen heading onto the lake with a whole troop of men.

But the overall tone appears to remain cheery, as the men are spotted laughing in the boat.

Smiling! The cast enjoyed between-the-scenes giggles

Viewers took to Twitter in disappointment following Sunday's episode, after the heartthrob put on a rather fully-clad appearance.

Despite celebrating his narrow escape from prison, fans flooded the social network with tweets of dismay over the absence of topless shots.

'A whole hour and no topless scenes.....' one disappointed viewer wrote.

Another tweeted: 'Yadda yadda courtroom stuff, blah blah. Hurry up and get back to topless.com scything already' (sic).

'Forgive me sir, you find me a little despairing' As it's been 15 minutes and stilll no topless (sic)', an anxiously waiting fan added.

'His shirt stayed on, his hair changed length & now no-one is sure how to pronounce his name anymore. Absolute chaos,' a hilarious tweeter concluded.

But fans breathed a sigh of relief after his character Ross was found not guilty after being set up by the The Warleggans.

Fans were dismayed to hear that during the shooting of season two the weather was too cold for tops to come off often.

Wonder what they're admiring? The trio looked at something on Aidan's mobile

'The weather was tempestuous' Aidan explains, 'We had a lot of clouds, a lot of rain and it was so cold. We had a few scenes in the sea and I think Eleanor [Tomlinson, who plays his wife Demelza] almost got hypothermia.

And last week the TV hunk opened up about being a hit with the ladies.

Speaking to The Times, he said: 'I don't feel objectified, it's funny! It's just a couple of people admiring your body.

'It's like doing any other scene. It's the same as me galloping on a horse on a beach.

And the the famous torso scene may never have happened if it wasn't for the unusually hot weather at the time.

He told the Radio Times: 'It was so hot that day, and we had a whole field to do so I thought, well, he wouldn't be in a shirt… It's so thick I can't even move in it.

'I'd be sweating straight away. I was thinking he'd leave the shirt – have maybe a towel or something, dry himself off and put a drier shirt on afterwards. So I just took it off, not thinking it would cause a stir.'

Last week Timmer, whose company is behind hit BBC drama Poldark and ITV drama Victoria, has told The Telegraph he was 'aghast' at Love Productions' decision to sell GBBO to Channel 4 for £25million and consequently leave the BBC.

He said: 'I think Love Productions' behaviour has been disgraceful. Treating the BBC with such little respect, I think it's shameful.

'I'm aghast that a production company would behave like that.'

He said he would never get the BBC involved in a bidding war for Poldark, stating: 'The BBC can have Poldark as long as they want.'

'I don't feel objectified, it's funny! It's just a couple of people admiring your body', he admitted to the Times about being topless

'It's like doing any other scene. It's the same as me galloping on a horse on a beach' The hunk said

Earlier this week, former BBC1 controller Lorraine Heggessey accused Love Productions of breaking an 'unwritten rule'.

She said: ‘In my day, there were often tough negotiations over programme budgets and budgets for talent but in the end there was an unwritten rule that you did not walk away and take your show somewhere else.’

But not everyone has condemned the programme maker.

Caroline Frost, entertainment editor at the Huffingdon Post, wrote: 'What of Love Productions’ apparent greed?

'Well, an independent business, with salaries to pay, overheads to cover, other creative ideas to support, can surely be forgiven for wanting to make hay while the sun shines.'

And she added: 'If you had a product as cracking as this one, wouldn’t you go to the highest bidder for your services?'

The show is set to air on Channel 4 from 2017.
