OUTLANDER season six star Lauren Lyle, who is best known for her role as Marsali Fraser, has opened up on why she can’t sit down to watch the Starz series any longer.
Fans of Outlander first met Marsali in season three when it was revealed Jamie Fraser (played by Sam Heughan) had married Laoghaire MacKenzie (Nell Hudson) when Claire (Caitriona Balfe) had travelled back to her own time before the Battle of Culloden. When Claire returned to the 18th Century 20 years later, Jamie and Laoghaire’s marriage was declared invalid but the highlander promised to continue caring for his stepdaughters, which included Marsali.
When Claire and Jamie boarded a ship to the Caribbean to track down Young Ian (John Bell), who was kidnapped, Marsali snuck on board too.
It was revealed she had fallen for Fergus Fraser (César Domboy) and Jamie finally agreed the pair could marry.
Fergus and Marsali have always been close by as Claire, Jamie and Young Ian settled on Fraser’s Ridge.
Most recently, Marsali has been training as Claire’s surgical apprentice between giving birth to many children

Despite having a good time on set, the star revealed she finds it uncomfortable seeing her friends in raunchy scenes.
During an interview on the Outcasts podcast, host Tim Downie detailed how he had encouraged his family to tune into Outlander to watch him in character.
However, what he didn’t realise was the episode he suggested they watch was cut with a “quite graphic sex scene”.

“Then you’re sort of ‘Oh, we’re back.’”
Lauren went on to agree saying the graphic sex scenes are part of the reason why she doesn’t watch the Starz series.
“This is why I can’t really watch the show, because there’s so much sex in it, in Outlander,” she detailed.
