Fans probably know her best as Demelza in BBC’s Poldark. Or, if we’re really throwing it back, for her role in the classic coming-of-age film, Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging. Now Eleanor Tomlinson is back in new BBC show: The Outlaws. Penned by Stephen Merchant, the comic crime thriller follows seven strangers forced to complete a community service sentence in Bristol. Tomlinson plays Gabby, a rich influencer stumbling her way through life. Whether there’s romance on the cards for her character remains to be seen, but what about Tomlinson’s own love life? Is she dating anyone?

While there’s never been any romantic connection between Tomlinson and Turner, they became good friends during their time on Poldark. In an interview with Harper’s Bazaar UK in 2019, Tomlinson spoke about their bond, “There’s a lot of love between us and a lot of respect. I’ve spent every day for six months with him for the past five years… you do form this bond. We’ve been each other’s support network and that shows. We have a real commitment to each other.
