Outlander star Sophie Skelton opens up on what Sam Heughan gave her as a memento in first season

Outlander stars Sophie Skelton and Richard Rankin have revealed what momentos they've managed to take home from set.

Sophie, 28, and Richard, 39, play Roger and Bree in the on-screen adaptation of Diana Gabaldon's Outlander series.

The 28-year-old actress revealed that she's been inspired to take home small keepsakes from the outside shoots, inspired by something Sam Heughan gave her early on in filming.

Speaking exclusively to Metro.co.uk, Sophie admitted she’d been tempted here and there to pocket something, but had managed to refrain on taking props so far.

"I was very tempted to take Ellen’s pills at one point, but I thought that would maybe be too much," she said. "I used to accidentally take Brianna’s ring home, but I don’t think I still have it."

Richard joked: "I thought Sophie would have taken more from the set to be honest, like an ashtray here or there", with Sophie explaining: "He thinks because I’m a Northerner, I like to steal things."

Although Richard insisted he "liked to use the term borrow" instead, he then added: "I don’t think I’ve taken anything because you never know what you’re going do pick-ups or come back and reshoot scenes or revisit something."

"They tend not to look too kindly on you removing stuff," he shared.

Sophie discussed her little keepsakes from the show: "I think I’ve got things from outside, like I think I’ve got bird feathers – more just memory things.

"Sam gave me in one of our first seasons a pinecone that was on the floor, and I think there was also an acorn, bird feathers, things like that I’ve kept as a little memorabilia [sic].

"No clothing has yet gone missing, but if we find ourselves in a time period where the clothing is a little bit more wearable these days then who knows! We [could have] some turtlenecks courtesy of Roger at home…"

Outlander season six airs Sundays in the UK on STARZPLAY.
