JAMIE Fraser fans may well want to look away as dramatic behind-the-scenes footage suggests the Outlander favourite's fate may be hanging in the balance.

Scots actor Sam Heughan has been captured in action in what appears to be an intense (and potentially fatal) stand-off.

The footage comes after Season 4 filming revealed Caitriona Balfe 's Clare could be in serious danger after being spotted on set.

Scots fans went wild when the show's most recent Scottish filming locations were revealed.

Heughan can be seen in the clip surrounded by Native Americans brandishing spears and guns as the camera crew take up position.

It looks like a dangerous stand off with the natives as a rifle is pointed at his head in the middle of the woodland.
