Outlander star Joey Phillips has recalled a hilarious moment Sam Heughan found himself in whilst shooting season 7 of the much-loved show.
Joey, who plays Dr Denzell Hunter in the time-travelling series, reminisced on filming, revealing that in a scene Sam Heughan struggled to row a boat so much that the crew couldn't secure the take without fits of laughter.
When asked if he could recall any 'funny' moments from set, the actor said: “We were shooting on a beautiful loch, all jumping into little boats and rowing off.
“It was supposed to be this dramatic moment and Sam, who plays Jamie, is obviously known for being the big strong hero and so he’s the one to shove off from the jetty and row everyone to safety.
“But for some reason, he just couldn’t shove off and ended up pathetically jabbing his oar at the pier and their boat just span around in sad little circles.
“That then set Caitriona [Balfe] off laughing, which then set Sam off which then set everyone else off.
“The more he couldn’t do it the funnier it was. I’m not sure if we ever got a take with at least one person not laughing.”
It comes as Outlander's Sam Heughan revealed one of his favourite additions to the latest season of Starz’ hit historical drama.
In Outlander’s new behind-the-scenes featurette, the lead actor took fans on a tour around the port of Wilmington.
He gave viewers an insight into several new buildings that have been added to the backlot for the latest instalments, including the Red Falcon Inn.
“The streets have grown considerably over the years,” Heughan explained.
“We’ve added more and more frontage. Some of these buildings are only fronts, others are indoor-outdoor if you’re interested in buying some property here in Wilmington.”
The show's seventh season will air on Friday, June 16 and is due to be split into two parts, both containing eight episodes.
Fans in the UK will be able to view the show via streaming service Lionsgate+.
It has also been renewed for season eight although this will be the final chapter.
A prequel series – Outlander: Blood Of My Blood – has also been ordered and will focus on Jamie Fraser’s (Sam Heughan) parents.
Outlander series 1-6 are available to stream on LIONSGATE+ in the UK. Outlander Season 7 premieres Friday, June 16 on Starz.
