Stephen Cree has spoken out about a major change to his character ahead of the new seventh series of Outlander.
The star, who plays Highland warrior Jamie Fraser's brother-in-law Ian Murray, hasn't made an appearance in the time travelling drama since the fourth season.

“I noticed when they announced it in the press, it was like, ‘Steven Cree is coming back as Old Ian Murray’.
“And I was like, ‘No I’m not! I’m coming back as the f*****g original Ian Murray. What are you talking about?’”

Ian was a continuous character throughout Outlander’s first four seasons but has yet to make another appearance.
Cree was asked to return for season five but was unable to appear due to a scheduling conflict.
When his season seven return was announced, he told the Herald: “I had always made it clear that if they wanted me to come back to tie up anything with Ian Murray’s storyline, I would be happy to.
“It was great that the schedules worked out perfectly last year. To be honest, it was like going back
