Now, fans have been given their first glimpse at The Tourist series two, with Jamie, 41, once again reprising his role as Elliot Stanley a man looking to rediscover his true identity after his memory loss.

Danielle Macdonald also returns as police officer Helen Chambers, but after their adventure in Australia's Outback, the second series will see them head to Ireland.

The pair are confronted by friends and foes as they attempt to uncover the secrets of Elliot’s past.

As Elliot and Helen are dragged into a longstanding family feud, series two introduces a raft of new characters including Detective Ruairi Slater (Conor MacNeill) , Niamh Cassidy (Olwen Fouéré) and the McDonnell family – Donal (Diarmaid Murtagh), Orla (Nessa Matthews), Fergal (Mark McKenna), and Frank (Francis Magee).

As well as plenty plot twists that will leave fans shocked, they can also expect the same off-beat comedy that made series one a success.

Previously opening up about his character, Jamie told Variety: "I've never had to approach a character before who doesn't know who he is, so it was almost like a total opposite process for me of not allowing yourself a backstory and accepting every single discovery he has as something new.

"I often tried to consider myself in my most vulnerable moments, where I've felt lost or afraid, and draw on those."

The series is full of action, but Jamie admitted: "There is a f**king line. So we had a line, obviously, but I will do everything up to that line, because [stunts are] fun, and I enjoy it.

"While my body just about still works, I will do anything."
