Outlander heartthrob Sam Heughan has sent fans into a meltdown with his latest Instagram escapades, showcasing his daring dip into freezing waters.

The Starz sensation, who boasts a whopping 4.3 million followers, caused quite the stir with his spa day snaps from Glasgow's opulent Thermal spa, where he was joined by fitness guru Valbo.

The images captured a beaming Sam plunging into icy depths and emerging from the chill, while a visibly shivering Valbo appeared to battle the cold.

The 44-year-old actor shared the invigorating experience with his followers, captioning the post: "Things are heating up (cold face emoji) @thermal_gla!!? Some post @mypeakchallenge workout recovery with Coach @valbo00." (sic)

Fans flocked to the comments section to lavish praise on the Outlander lead, with many expressing their enthusiasm for the chilly plunge. One fan swooned: "He could wear a potato sack and look perfect. OMG." (sic)

Another admirer commented on Sam's infectious grin, saying: "It looks like it feels good. Your smile is lovely."

While a third chimed in: "Amazing! You look like you're having fun... in cold water (laughing emoji)." (sic)

One follower found their spirits lifted, saying: "Well that's cheered me right up." As another exclaimed over Sam's charm: "You are so damn cute!"

The ice bath itself also received its fair share of adoration, with one enthusiast declaring: "The best place in the world: the thermal baths!"

"@samheughan It must be such a cool experience, it's very tempting!" confessed another fan. (sic)

Reflecting on Sam's evident joy, a third supporter added: "You are having a great time, aren't you? Glad for that. You need more of that."

One fan expressed their excitement, saying: "Ice baths are awesome!! I do 4 a week up to my neck! Best part of my week!" (sic)

As the release date for the second part of Outlander series 7 approaches, fans' anticipation is growing. They can't wait to see Jamie Fraser and Claire Fraser (Caitriona Balfe) reunited on their screens.

Diana Gabaldon, the author of the book series that inspired the show, has assured fans of a heart-wrenching yet ultimately satisfying conclusion when the series concludes after its eighth season.

Following the closure of Lionsgate+ in the UK, new episodes of Outlander will be available on Starz and to stream on Prime Video channel MGM+ from Sunday, November 22. You must be an Amazon Prime member before you can sign up for MGM+.
