he comedian and fellow cast members have been shooting scenes for the Sky series Delicious in Cornwall in recent weeks.
The Scottish star swapped his leather and chainmail for a linen blazer to reprise his role as Leo in Delicious, starring French, who lives in Cornwall and was last week sharing photos from her walk on Par Beach on Twitter.
His presence caused a stir among shoppers, and rumours circulated that a film stunt would be taking place in Frankfort Gate, the Plymouth Herald reports.
Fans had speculated whether Glen would return to series two after dying in the first episode of season one and narrating the remaining episodes.
The scene was filmed in Lill’s Kitchen with a crew of more than 80 in both Frankfort Gate and Colin Campbell Court. French was also due to be appearing for filming later in the day.
French’s Gina and Silent Witness actress Emilia Fox’s Sam play sparring hoteliers caught in a love triangle over Leo in Delicious. Launceston residents received a letter from the show’s assistant location manager Matthew Mirrington last month, stating filming for the Sky One show will begin on August 30.
he star-studded series caused a stir last year when several picturesque locations across Devon and Cornwall were chosen as filming locations including Pentillie, Bickleigh and the Tamar Valley.
Series two has also been filming on the Port Eliot estate and Pentillie once again.

I have added 25 amazing images from Iain’s appearance at the charity football match to raise funds for the survivors of the Grenfell Tower fire in London that happened in June this year.
I will have be replacing these images with some HQ images soon.
The event was the #Game4Grenfell charity football match at the QPR football ground at Loftus Road. There were a mixture of celebrities and former football players in the two teams. I left work at 10:30am and got the train to Shepherd’s Bush station. I admit I was not at all prepared for the number of fans that were there 3 hours and longer before the match but when I got to the football stadium the barriers were already out and I was about 6 rows from the front. Being so small I couldn’t see a thing and I started thinking that maybe today just wasn’t going to be my day. My friend Helen who was there to see Jamie Dornan arrived and we chatted about where best to stand. More barriers were put out and we managed to get to the front of them but they were so far down the road we didn’t think anyone would stop that far down and see us.
I was just thinking I’m not going to get anywhere near Iain from my current position when I thought I had spotted him on the other side of the road. I literally left my friend for dust and just yelled ‘OMG it’s Iain’!! I shot across the road with my camera in hand and when I got closer I realised IT WAS IAIN!
He was already being approached by fans for photos and signatures so I waited patiently until he was in front of me and then everything happened so quickly – he looked at me and I said ‘Hi Iain it’s Sarah’ and he said ‘oh Sarah hi how are you? I got your letter that you were coming’ I said ‘I’m fine it’s so good to see you it’s been a couple of years hasn’t it? He then bent down to give me a hug which was amazing and then I asked him if it was okay for a photo and I literally threw my camera at poor unsuspecting lady and asked her if she would mind taking a photo of us together which she did. He was so lovely as he bent down for me and just grabbed him close to me. I didn’t realise I had my hand of his torso!! Lol
I asked him about when he would be filming the next Jack Taylor series and he said not till 2019!!!!! So we a long wait for it I’m afraid. I got the feeling that GOT Series 8 will take up a lot of the next year for him. I told him we were just glad he had survived this series of Game of Thrones but other fans were asking him for signatures and photos so I’m not sure he heard me say it. I stood back and let others in speak to him whilst taking the opportunity to take some photos of him.
About a few moments later Iain was going into the venue and walked along the barrier signing. He was so sweet and patient with everyone. I was too far back and too small for him to see me but I did manage to get a few photos. Helen got loads of photos of him for me which she kindly said she would send to me. He stood back and posed for fans so they could take a photo of him. WOW what a guy!! He then went in and I took a deep breath – all this and the match hadn’t even started yet!
We then waited for actor Jamie Dornan. By this time there seemed to be two places to enter the stadium and we weren’t sure where he would come in. A guy came over to us and we heard him talking to a guy who was standing next to us and he said that Jamie was just down the road walking up here so we both ran to try and catch him. He was flagged by security and loads of fans trying to photos and autos. It was quite difficult for us to get close to him and although Helen was not able to get a selfie or autograph she did manage to take some great photos.
We had to wait for about an hour before the players came on the pitch for a warm up. Because the event was for the survivors and relatives of the Grenfell Tower disaster there was a lot of stuff to support them which was very sweet. They walked around the outside of the pitch to applause from the crowd. There was a minute silence before kick-off and some of the survivors and firefighter’s that fought the fire that night joined the players on the pitch and were part of both teams. They got the biggest applause of the day.
So Iain and Jamie both come out onto the pitch and Helen and I start going made with taking photos. It was like someone had possessed us!! Lol I got about 300 photos of the whole day and a number of video clips of Iain playing football and warming up.
Iain was in Team Ferdinand in Team Shearer
When the match started runner legend Sir Mo Farrah scored the first goal for Team Ferdinand. Iain himself didn’t come on till 5 minutes before the end of the first half and then for another 15 minutes in the second half. He did get stuck in and didn’t shy away from the ball. Apart from the ‘almost own goal’ (the ball bounced off the goal post) he really did brilliantly well considering he was the oldest man in both teams – I was so proud of him.
At half time there were musical performances from Rita Ora and Cheryl Tweedy.
By lucky chance we happened to sit next to 2 ladies who were also Iain fans. One was celebrating her 30th birthday. Everytime Iain went past us they yelled ‘GO JORAH GO JORAH GO JORAH’!! Not sure if he heard or not though.
The only couple of things that were disappointing was that
After about an hour waiting for them to leave we decided to go home. It took me a couple of hours to get back when usually an half an hour journey due to train delays and I was completely shattered when I got home but so happy and so relieved it worked out so well. Still on cloud nine 2 days later!
There are lots more photos to come later this week.
Legendary actor Iain Glen – best known for his role as Ser Jorah Mormont in Game of Thrones – is hanging up his sword and armour for a day and donning his football boots for a #Game4Grenfell.
That’s right, instead of lining up with Jon Snow, The Hound and Daenerys Targaryen and co., Glen will join forces with the likes of Les Ferdinand, Alan Shearer, Jamie Redknapp, Peter Crouch, Marcus Mumford, Jamie Dornan, Olly Murs, Tinie Tempah et al for the community fixture at Loftus Road on September 2nd, which will act as a community event to give something back to those affected by the Grenfell Tower fire, using football as a powerful tool to unite the people of North Kensington and the wider community.
Ser Jorah is one of the original cast members from Game of Thrones season one – and one of the few surviving members.
Iain’s character has been a prominent presence throughout the seven series as loyal bodyguard to Daenerys Targaryen’s exiled knight, survivor of grayscale, and can currently be seen battling the White Walkers alongside Jon Snow beyond the wall.
Going into the season’s finale on Sunday night, we still don’t know if Ser Jorah will still be standing sword in hand beside his beloved Khaleesi.
Regardless of that, on September 2nd, he will be exchanging the battlefield for the football pitch – and he’s excited about playing his part.
“I haven’t worn my football boots for 20-plus years but I couldn’t be prouder to blow off the cobwebs for the #Game4Grenfell,” said Glen.
Tickets for #Game4Grenfell are priced £15 for adults and £5 concessions.
Monies raised from ticket sales and other fundraising initiatives around the event will be passed directly to the London Community Foundation for allocation to the Evening Standard Dispossessed Fund, distributing funds to survivors and the wider community affected by the fire.
Glen’s participation is sure to add extra glitz and glamour to an already stellar line-up, that includes a number famous ex-pros and stars from the world of music, sport, film and entertainment.
Over 2,000 complimentary tickets will be issued to those directly affected by the tragedy, including families, the emergency services, volunteers, local residents and those who played their part in the recovery efforts in North Kensington.
Tickets for a #Game4Grenfell – which will also be aired exclusively on Sky 1 and Pick – are on sale now. To buy, click HERE
