Outlander's Sam Heughan celebrates birthday by 'carbing up' for London Marathon
The Outlander star celebrated his 45th birthday a bit early as he's training for the London Marathon.
Outlander star Sam Heughan celebrated his 45th birthday a bit early this year as he prepares to run the London Marathon.
The Jamie Fraser actor took to Instagram to say that he was tucking into a meal prepared by Scots chef Tom Kitchin and 'carbing up' for the 42km run, which takes place next weekend.
And many fans flocked to the comments to wish the star a happy birthday.
One penned: "A meal fit for a king (of men)."
Another added: "Happy early birthday to you, my absolute favourite actor!! You have such a kind soul and you are such an amazing human being !! I wish you the best !! Send you love!!"
While one said: "(almost) 45 never looks so good! Looks delicious."
And one added: "Ahhh, The Kitchin! Soo yummy, especially the scallop! Mmm. Happy early Birthday, Sam!"
While another commented: "The big 45. Happy birthday."
Sam has been visiting The Kitchin in Leith for many years and even filmed an episode of Men in Kilts with his Outlander co-star Graham McTavish.
The pair were photographed with top chef and owner Tom Kitchin. The celebrity chef shared the moment on social media with the trio appearing to be having a lively discussion as they tucked into Scottish cuisine.
This isn't the first time the star has ran a marathon as he ran the Edinburgh marathon back in 2018.
Sam completed the course in aid of Cahonas Scotland and he crossed the finishing line after three hours and 12 minutes beating his personal best by one minute.
After completing the race, he posted on Instagram: "@edinburghmarathonfestival 3.12 beat my PB by 1min!!
"Thank you everyone for the support and delighted to help @CahonasScotland. Now can I lay down?"
Sam is no stranger to fitness and in 2017, Sam launched My Peak Challenge (MPC) - a movement "dedicated to educating and inspiring its members to live healthier, happier, and more balanced lives while raising funds to change lives".
In 2022, Sam raised whopping £590,000 for charity with the help of his organisation MPC. Fellow members - known as Peakers - set themselves a challenge, physical or otherwise, in a bid to raise cash.
Since the organisation began, they have raised around $6.9m (£5.8m) for a number of good causes including, Give Blood UK, Ocean Conservancy, Marie Curie, and many more. In 2022, Peakers raised over $711k (£592k) and planted 607,000 trees.

Romeo Beckham moves on from girlfriend Kim 'with blonde model' in Paris
Romeo and Kim split just two weeks ago. Romeo Beckham only split with his ex, Kim Turnbull, a few weeks ago and has apparently already moved on. The second eldest Beckham child was spotted with a blonde model in Paris. David and Victoria Beckham's 22-year-old son has found himself surrounded by rumours of a family feud after his older brother Brooklyn, 26, decided to avoid their dad's 50th birthday. Brooklyn was reportedly 'uneasy' about Romeo dating Kim, as he was once close friends with her, and felt his parents were 'favouring' his younger brother, who was seen beaming in snaps from David's birthday, writes the Mirror. Amid the family rift, Romeo and Kim parted ways two weeks ago and now it looks like it's all-change again after the latest snaps coming in from Paris. Romeo was spotted in a car in the French capital, sporting a shaved head, wearing a black Champion sweatshirt and tracksuit bottoms. He was pictured in the car with German model, Caroline Daur, 30, leaving a bash at the swanky, Hotel Costes. Romeo jumped into a taxi with the influencer - who was rocking a strapless minidress and who has 5m followers on Instagram - and other pals after enjoying an evening together, before hot-footing it to Julia nightclub, where they stayed until the early hours. The pair sparked romance rumours as they went to great lengths not be snapped together as they left the venue separately. However, they then headed off in the same car alongside others, reports the Mail. It is said that Romeo and Caroline bonded over their love of tennis, with both attending the Men's Singles Semi Final at the French Open on Friday. Romeo's representatives have been contacted for comment. Insiders say that things remain 'amicable' between Romeo and his ex Kim, and insist that their split has nothing to do with the bitter Beckham feud, which is said to have been sparked by their relationship. Brooklyn is said to have felt Kim's reasons for dating his brother were 'disingenuous' amid rumours he used to date the DJ. However, in a now deleted Instagram post Cruz Beckham denied Brooklyn was ever in a relationship with Kim. Speaking to the Mail about Romeo's split with the DJ, who the model once referred to his as his "world", a source said: "Romeo and Kim are both young and they had a lovely time together but at that age things don't always last forever and they decided to split up. "They have been friendly since and have even been at the same venues. It's a huge shame, particularly as David and Victoria really adored her and thought she made Romeo happy but it wasn't to be. "David and Victoria would hate for the view to be that they split because of Nicola and Brooklyn because that simply isn't the case." Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

Love Island 2025 first look with huge new twist and format change
Love Island launches tonight as 12 brand new islanders hope to find love in the Mallorcan villa this summer Love Island is back tonight on ITV2 with 12 brand new sexy singletons hoping to find love in the Mallorcan villa this summer. Here is your sneak peek into the launch episode before the show hits screens at 9pm. The episode kicks off with the girls - Shakira, Meg, Alima, Sophie, Megan and Helena - entering the newly refurb villa first, without any boys, as they all get to know one another. The conversation soon turns to dating as they each express their excitement to meet the single boys and start shouting for them to enter the villa. They don't have long to wait as host Maya Jama arrives and takes them to the fire pit for a chat. Getting straight to the point, Maya asks them what each of their types are, as Shakira starts by stating: "Tall, muscly, nice smile but for me it's all about personality. Witty, funny, charming." Helena laughs as she adds: "Personality always, my bar is low, I'm not fussy!" while payroll specialist Meg teases that she wants: "Tanned skin, taller and naughty eyes." 29-year-old Sophie says: "I want someone that's a gentleman, not a man child," while aspiring actress Megan jokingly adds: "I'm easily charmed, which is the problem…" Scots contestant Alima is headset in what she wants: "A Prince Charming Disney Prince… with no facial hair." Maya then announces a shocking change to the show's format, giving the girls the decision on who they want to couple up with based on their dating profiles. She reveals: "This year things are slightly different. You've told me what your type on paper is, but does that match your ideal man in reality? Come and join me by the pool." As the girls line up, Maya explains: "Girls, in front of you there are six love hearts and each boy has given me their dating profile which is written on each of these hearts - shall we have a look at what these boys have to offer?" On the boards, the girls see descriptions for this year's boys - Ben, Dejon, Harry, Conor, Blu and Tommy. They have to decide who they'd like to couple up with based on these key stats with the boy's names, age, job and a headline such as "I like to play hard and work harder! I love to play, so I work very hard". After chatting about the profiles and guessing who might be their perfect match, Maya counts them down - three, two, one - and the girls race to claim a heart. Only one girl can stand by each heart, so it's first come, first served. With just moments to choose, will everyone end up with the boy they wanted? or will there be instant regrets, leaving the girls eager to swap? Now it's the boys turn. With the girls locked in, they enter the villa one by one to discover who chose them. Will sparks fly right away - or did the girls rush into their decision? In another turn of events, Love Island UK has their first ever American bombshell. As Toni swaps Sin City for the Island of Majorca. Just as the islanders are getting settled into their new couples and getting to know one another, Maya makes a shock return to the villa in the evening with the huge news. Gathering everyone at the fire pit, Maya reveals the day isn't over yet and someone new is already on their way. Out of nowhere, the Villa is rocked by the arrival of the series' first bombshell - Toni - who makes a jaw-dropping entrance into the villa. It doesn't take long for the islanders to clock her American accent, as she flashes a smile and cheekily announces: "Good evening UK! Surprise!" The group is left stunned by the American bombshell and the boys are clearly intrigued, while the girls start to feel the heat. Maya then delivers a game-changing twist: Toni hasn't just flown in from across the pond, she's also about to immediately steal one of the boys. With all eyes on her, and the power in her hands, Toni grins and coyly replies: "Interesting..." But the twists keep coming. Maya has one more announcement - and the clock is ticking for one Islander. The countdown has begun, and someone's time in the Villa might be up quicker than you can say señorita… Love Island airs tonight at 9pm on ITV3 and ITVX.
