'Aidan Turner in a towel.Irish actor's rippling abs send Twitter into meltdown

Actor Aidan Turner, 32, who found fame as Poldark, put on a seriously suave performance as the handsome and dangerous Philip Lombard in the new Agatha Christie adaptation, And Then There Were None, and immediately sparked a deluge of lustful tweets thanks to his towel scenes

Rather than focussing on the whodunnit element of Agatha Christie's classic murder mystery, fans used social media to express their views on the newly-single actor's impressive body.

Tweets as follows, like Rose H, who simply wrote: 'Drop the towel. Drop the towel. #AidanTurner #AndThenThereWereNone'.

Many Twitter users noted that stripping off on the BBC seems to be part of the actor's contract. 

Alison Pritchard wrote: 'Beginning to think that the BBC won't hire Aidan Turner unless he agrees to strip off', whilst Abbie Christmas added: 'Poor Aidan Turner, forced to remove his shirt again in the name of art.'
