The news of Sigourney Weaver's guest appearance in Doc Martin took many fans by surprise earlier this year, and now Martin Clunes has revealed how the Alien actress signed up for the drama.
Speaking on Good Morning Britain yesterday (September 3), Clunes said that he was approached by the Hollywood star and asked for a part while filming a chat show.
"I met her on The Jonathan Ross Show and she said she was a big fan," the actor said.
Weaver will play an American tourist on the show, visiting Cornwall and encountering Doc Martin and some of Portwenn's other vibrant characters.
Clunes teased the part by saying: "She gets to be insulted by her own friend."
The 53-year-old also revealed that he'll reunite with Men Behaving Badly co-star Caroline Quentin on the show's upcoming run.
Weaver was photographed shooting scenes for the long-running ITV series with Clunes in Cornwall back in July.
