He explained: "It was great, I loved it. Working with Morgan and Braeden [Clarke] back from season four was just fabulous. We really connected as a little team and just had a great time. We actually got tattoos at the end of it! It’s a little wolf on my hip, a little line drawing wolf. So I’ll always have the memory with me… I have a dragon on the other for The Hobbit!"

Of course, after appearing to finally let his wife go, could Young Ian be back on the lookout for love, and is Malva going to be a potential future love interest for him? He explained: "I hope [Ian finds love again] There’s a romance or something building between Ian and Malva. There’s a little [something] going on there. But Ian is a character who is full of love for his family, for his wolf, so there’s a lot out there for Ian. He’s just had a bit of a bad run of it! I hope there might be someone around the corner for him, but we’ll see."
