Sam Heughan hailed Caitriona Balfe an "honorary Scot" thanks to the time she's spent here filming for Outlander.
The Scots actor never shies away from complementing his co-star and pal and their close friendship, which has grown over the 10 years they've been playing Jamie and Claire Fraser in the hit time-travelling historical drama, is well known to fans.
But this is the first time we think he's gone so far as to declare his Irish colleague as an honorary Scot, and Cait was left visibly delighted by the fond compliment.
The pair were being interviewed for BAFTA just after the launch of the latest season, bringing to an end the recent Droughtlander faced by fans when the Starz drama finally hit screens on Friday.
The smash-hit success of Outlander has catapulted Balmaclellan born Sam to international stardom, along with the rest of his co-stars. And the 43-year-old reckons it's had a huge impact on Scotland's global identity as a whole, with a massive tourism industry popping up around the show and armies of die-hard Outlander fans making their way to these shores every year for a glimpse of a location - or face - they might recognise.
Sam said: “Obviously, Scotland has a great identity anyway around the rest of the world. “But I think Outlander’s now probably up there with the thing that people think about the most when they think of Scotland. “I’m really proud of it. It feels like we're ambassadors."
In the interview, Sam then turned to former model Caitriona, 43, as she asked him “Am I an honorary Scot?”
Sam then reassured her she was as she replied in a light-hearted manner: "Oh okay, good," as Sam added: “You’re a MacBalfe.”

Sharareh Drury administrator SPOILER ALERT: This interview contains spoilers from “The Happiest Place on Earth,” Season 7, Episode 2 of “Outlander,” now streaming on Starz. While an epic explosion at Frasier’s Ridge would seem like the most shocking event thus far this season on “Outlander,” the Starz series managed to also pack in a shocking reveal, a bittersweet birth and the series’ most heartbreaking goodbye yet. Moments into “The Happiest Place on Earth,” the mystery of who actually killed Malva (Jessica Reynolds) is finally solved. Despite Tom Christie (Mark Lewis Jones) having taken the blame for his daughter’s murder to save Claire (Caitriona Balfe) from the noose, it was actually his son Allan (Alexander Vlahos) who did it. Claire tries to stop Allan, overcome with grief, from taking his own life but Ian (John Bell) appears and shoots him with an arrow — stating that Allan’s actions killed an unborn child and for that, he cannot live.
Outlander secretly warned us what we were in for ("a startling discovery about Roger and Brianna's newborn daughter; a familiar face returns; explosive consequences at the Ridge…"), but nothing could have prepared us for everything that went down, both literally and figuratively.
