Aidan Turner and Eleanor Tomlinson can't "stop laughing" when they shoot 'Poldark' sex scenes.

The on-screen couple find the intimate moments "incredibly awkward" and they usually require a few takes to complete the filming because they both repeatedly disolve into giggles.
Eleanor - who plays feisty Demelza Carne opposite Aidan's Ross Poldark - said: "I'm a complete kid when it comes to sex scenes.
"It takes me at least two takes to stop laughing. And Aidan's the same - both of us will be laughing our heads off. It's because they're so incredibly awkward. Even when they close the set there are still 25 people there, and don't forget you've rehearsed it like a series of manoeuvres - so it's all, 'Right, if you put your hand there and I put mine there...' Just hilarious. My mum can't bear to watch them."
The 24-year-old beauty admits fans are so obsessed with the show, they usually expect her and Aidan, 33, to be out together.
She told The Sunday Telegraph: "It's lovely that people know it so well. In the street I'll get people coming up to me and asking, 'Where's Aidan?', and I'll say, 'Well, generally, I don't travel around with him.' "
Though Aidan has won legions of female fans with his topless scenes, he gets frustrated that his appearance overshadows his acting talent.
Eleanor said: "'Poldark' is about so much more than that one thing. And although of course it's dream publicity for the show and it certainly grabbed people's attention, they didn't want it to be known just for that. I mean, Aidan's a beautiful man - absolutely gorgeous - but I think he would like to be recognised for his performance, and I would like to stop being asked about his chest."
