Heida Reed finds her 'Poldark' co-star Aidan Turner "sexy".

When asked by You magazine, if she personally finds Aidan sexy, Heidi

replied: "Who doesn't? Of course! I think a part of you is always attracted to the person your character is attracted to. That's a part of my acting process."

Heida was also impressed by Jon Hamm, when they co-starred in an episode of 'Toast of London'.

She said: "He was in the trailer next to me and was standing outside smoking a cigarette, like Don Draper, being super cool. He's just as handsome and tall as you would think. It's not an illusion."

However, she doesn't agree with women objectifying men.

She said: "There are some women who think that men being objectified is some sort of cosmic retribution. I've heard: 'It's their turn now.'

"I don't think that's a progressive way of thinking. As a feminist, I think feminism is about gender equality across the board. We shouldn't objectify anyone.

"Of course, there's an element that's fun and it can be harmless, but there's also a serious element."

While Heidi and Los Angeles-based Sam live on different continents, they are spending the summer together on a road trip along the west coast of America and she insisted they are just enjoying getting to know each other.

She explained: "It's new, just a few months and we're at a really fun stage. It's lovely. We're both aware that we're very good on our own - that's important. Get on with it and enjoy being on your own when you are, and then enjoy being together."

Heidi is close to her 'Poldark' co-stars but admitted that she rarely sees Aidan when they're not working as he lives in Dublin, while most of the rest of the cast live in London.

The actress - who is from Iceland - said: "If friendship was the only thing I got out of being in 'Poldark', I would have been happy. I see them all the time and I know they'll be in my life forever. There's Eleanor [Tomlinson, who plays Demelza], Ruby [Bentall, who plays Verity Poldark], Jack [Farthing, who plays George Warleggan], Kyle [Francis] and Luke [Norris, who plays Dr Dwight Enys]. Aidan is part of it too, but he's very busy and doesn't live in London like the rest of us - he's in Dublin.

"Last year I took Eleanor, Jack, Kyle and Ruby to Iceland for a week - we drove around and spent some time in my grandmother's cottage.

Iceland has always been known for its incredible otherworldly landscape and quirkiness."
