Paul, 25, playing the role of Connell, was first seen chatting to Andrew’s Priest in a confessional about his communication troubles with Daisy Edgar-Jones’ character Marianne.

Sounding afflicted by his woes, Paul confesses: ‘I’m in love but it’s complicated.’

His declaration sparks an unexpected response from the Hot Priest who sighs and replies: ‘Tell me about it’.  

While still bewildered at the unusual situation, Paul is in for another surprise as his co-star Daisy’s voice can then be heart.
