Outlander Blood of My Blood star shares behind the scenes look as he thanks fans
Outlander Blood of My Blood has been the hot topic across the globe, as the spin-off show finally aired to UK audiences over the weekend. Jamie Roy, who stars as Jamie Fraser's dad Brian, has shared some behind the scenes snaps.
The spin-off to Diana Gabaldon 's original franchise aired on August 8, with fans so far thrilled at the exciting new time-travelling saga they can sink their teeth into.
Despite only two episodes being released so far, many have already set their sights on their favourites. The spin-off show will unravel the tale of both Outlander 's main stars, Jamie and Claire Fraser's parents.
Sharing the snaps to Instagram, actor Jamie wrote: "Episodes 1 and 2 are out!! Thank you so much for all the lovely words and messages, and thank you for watching! Here's a few bits. Fun going down memory lane. Spot any familiar sights?"
The series will follow two new love stories, one which starts on the battlefields of the Western Front during World War I and the other in the meadows of Scotland in the early 18th century.
Since its debut more than a decade ago, Outlander itself has amassed a global fanbase. The historical romance series, centring round Claire Randall/Fraser (Caitríona Balfe) and Jamie Fraser (Sam Heughan), saw their love affair quickly capture hearts.
However with the show nearing its end with the eighth and final season set for 2026, the phenomenon is expanding in the form of a spin-off to Diana Gabaldon's treasured franchise.

Eamonn Holmes shares rare update on ex-wife Ruth Langsford
Eamonn Holmes shares rare update on ex-wife Ruth Langsford Eamonn Holmes has shared an update following his split from Ruth Langsford in a post about their rescue dog Eamonn Holmes mentioned his ex Ruth Langsford in a post about their rescue dog Maggie this week (Image: (Image: Ken McKay/ITV/REX/Shutterstock)) Former ITV This Morning presenter Eamonn Holmes mentioned his former wife Ruth Langsford in a post about their rescue dog Maggie this week. He's offered a glimpse into their current arrangements after paying homage to Maggie over the weekend. Eamonn and Ruth, both 65, revealed last year that they had chosen to part ways after 14 years of marriage. The ex-couple, who share a son, were subsequently reported to be embroiled in a custody battle over their beloved pooch Maggie, whom they had welcomed into their family in 2011. Following his recent post about Maggie, Eamonn returned to Instagram with a fresh update. It featured him praising Ruth, who frequently shares posts about walking Maggie, and hinted at his future plans. Eamonn informed his followers that Maggie would appear in the Times this week. He penned: "So much interest and Love for Maggie following yesterday's post to the extent that she is going to star in @thetimes on line from tomorrow and this week's Sunday Times." Eamonn Holmes posted about his dog Maggie today after paying tribute to her over the weekend (Image: Instagram/ @eamonnholmes) The former This Morning presenter, who has faced health challenges in recent years, continued by explaining that his ex handles "all the hard stuff" with Maggie. He commented: "Ruth does all the hard stuff with her because of my Wheelchair restrictions but working hard to hopefully get better soon and adopt another #Rescue #Dog like we did from @dogstrust all those years ago!" The presenter shared: "Maggie changed my life and she was making me very happy in The Sunshine today. In many ways she reminds me of my dearly departed Mum - a really bad knee and hardly any teeth left but not bad for a 17 year old!" reports the Mirror. Eamonn, who supports the rescue group K-9 Angels, concluded: "Please try to Adopt and Not Shop if u can. from organisations like @thek9angels and @dogstrust Enjoy the Sunshine but please be aware of your dog in a car and it's little feet on hot pavements. Bye from Maggie and Me." The journalist, who used Randy Newman's song You've Got A Friend in Me from Toy Story (1995) in his post, had previously posted about Maggie. Alongside photos, he said in his earlier post: "17 years apart ... and we r both still going - JUST. Maggie and Me #dogstrust #adoptdontshop." He mentioned his ex Ruth Langsford, with whom he had adopted Maggie, in the post Following their separation, Eamonn and Ruth were reportedly having "difficult conversations" about where Maggie would reside. There were even rumours of a custody dispute over the dog between the former couple. However, it was suggested in May last year that Maggie was likely to primarily stay with Loose Women panelist Ruth. A source told the Sun at the time that Maggie is "like a daughter" to the exes, who were both said to "dote" on her. Article continues below The source further revealed to the outlet: "But she's getting on and they know she needs stability. It's a case of who can give her that." They added that the thought of "giving her up" was "heartbreaking" for GB News presenter Eamonn. A source revealed that Eamonn "adores" the dog, but hinted at the possibility of the pet going to his ex. They stated last year: "But if Ruth is able to get out and about and walk her more, then it may well be that she gets Maggie in the split."
