Aidan Turner has been the subject of many debates about double standards since the first stills from

The snap of a shirtless Ross Poldark walking across the beach with his hair flowing were splashed across every tabloid earlier this month.

Journalist Mariella Frostrup wrote an article saying that as a woman she can enjoy the picture "without too much fear of censure" that men would get if the picture was of a woman.

: "It seems like there is a double standard, yeah, it does seem that way. But I try not to get involved in [that debate]."

He added: "I\'ve never felt objectified. I think sometimes other people want to feel that for you, which can be quite a strange thing.

"But personally I haven\'t. You say objectify, but it just sounds like [Mariella] was sort of admiring that character of Ross Poldark or physically how he looks or whatever."

recently returned to the BBC for the fourth series – with the fifth series having already being commissioned.

Sadly for fans, the next run of the show will probably be the last with Turner, who\'s called his role "a five-year gig".
