The next season of the hotly-anticipated programme will go into production in Dublin, Ireland, in April, and Jamie "can't wait" for viewers to see how the tale progresses.

He said: "I’m incredibly excited to continue the story with 'The Tourist'.

“Harry and Jack Williams are brilliant writers, and I can’t wait for audiences to see how well Ireland and its characters are utilised to keep them guessing as the tale progresses."

Jamie will once again play Elliot, who, in the first series, woke up in an Australian hospital with amnesia following a car crash.

The star's character will head to his native Ireland in the second series, but there are dangerous consequences.

Danielle Macdonald - who will be back as Helen Chambers - said: "I’m so excited to team up with Jamie again and return for another wild adventure with an amazing cast and crew.

"Jack and Harry Williams are brilliant story tellers and it’s exciting to see what their minds will come up with next."

Writers Harry and Jack Williams - who are best known for creating BBC drama 'The Missing' and the show's spin-off 'Baptiste' - added: "’The Tourist’ was unlike anything we’d written before and we’re hugely grateful for the incredible response to series one.

"It’s been an exciting journey getting stuck into that world again with the quirky characters that were so loved, and seeing where we could take them next, whilst continuing to deliver a tonally unique and off-beat drama."
