fans collectively recoiled when evil Ossie unleashed his repugnant foot fetish for some afternoon toe sucking.

But now, some viewers are sharing their surprise on discovering how different actor Christian Brassington looks like in real life.

The 35-year-old star – who has previously spoken about putting on three stone to get into character – was taking part in a

Q&A on the show\'s official Twitter account last night, when fans couldn\'t help but notice his black and white headshot in his Twitter profile.

One fan joked: "Hubba hubba! He needs to revert to looking like that in the show...more chance of getting his conjugals..."

"When you see Christian Brassington in real life and realise he\'s hot AF," another viewer couldn\'t resist commenting.

Christian\'s transformation into to the scheming reverend included eating 28,000 calories a week to bulk up for the role.

After previously putting on weight (and then subsequently losing it) to play the lecherous villain, who first appeared in season three, he told Digital Spy that he had a better approach to gaining weight this time around.

"I had to put weight on for the second outing, but we did it in a much healthier way because we had a nutritionist," Christian explained.

"It wasn\'t just chips and Mars bars this time, so it was much less fun! Lucy [the nutritionist] wanted me to eat a lot of oily fish and vegetables in olive oil and quinoa. Inevitably there was a lot of red meat and potato in there, and protein shakes.

"I was putting on three pounds a week, and I ate 28,000 calories a week. And I was working with a personal trainer, so we did a lot of weights to build up muscle."

Season four of the period drama has seen evil Ossie continue to oppress and abuse his ill-suffering wife governess Morwenna (Ellise Chappel), and has introduced his equally abominable mother Lady Whitworth, played by the brilliant Rebecca Front.

"I think that people who are evil and thought of as repulsive, I don\'t think they think of themselves as evil or repulsive," he added of Ossie.

"I think he thinks of himself as God\'s gift to women, I think he thinks he\'s God gift to the clergy, and God\'s gift to society."

airs on Sundays at 9pm on BBC One in the UK, and on PBS in the US. Pre-order the season 1-4 box set on DVD or Blu-ray now.
