The Dumfries-born actor, who is best known for his role as Jamie Fraser on the hit historical fantasy show, got one of his first big breaks on the BBC soap. After graduating from the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, Heughan, now 42, made his debut in the Scottish soap playing Livingston FC footballer Andrew Murray, who was said to the new “golden boy” of the Scottish Premier League.

During his time on the show, footballer Andrew soon got involved in a romantic tryst with Kelly-Marie Adams, played by Carmen Pieraccini. After the two tied the knot, he whisked her away to Monaco to live out her dream of being a WAG to its fullest potential - but in true soap opera style it would all come crashing down before long.
