Poldark season 3: Viewers furious as Ross pushes Demelza to CHEAT 'Sort yourself out!'
ROSS POLDARK has angered viewers on the series’ seventh offering with his actions, with Demelza appearing ready to finally give up on her husband.
Poldark: Demelza confronts Ross about his stubbornness
While fans of the show were already aware of Demelza’s (played by Eleanor Tomlinson) wandering eye after the arrival of Lieutenant Hugh Armitage (Josh Whitehouse), the Captain (Aidan Turner) all but drove his red-headed Cornish beauty away on this week’s episode.
Following the second “wedding” of Dwight Enys (Luke Norris) and Caroline (Gabriella Wilde), Demelza sneakily tested her husband when they were at home.
“Lieutenant Armitage was very attentive today, perhaps overly attentive. Did you notice?” she smirked.
But when Ross bluntly shut his wife down, Demelza seemed deeply hurt by his apparent uncaring nature.

“No. Not every man in Cornwall is besotted with you,” he snapped.
As the suffering mother-of-two couldn’t help but become swept up in the Lieutenant’s kind attentions, she struggled to continue to make excuses for her husband, and so did fans of the show.
Taking to Twitter to express their upset, one person posted: “I’ve said it before and I'll say it again Ross does not deserve Demelza at all #Poldark,” while another agreed: “Ross Poldark, you are one moody b***er and Demelza deserves better than that. Sort yourself out! #Poldark”
“Oh Ross that was a put down. Naughty you!! You better watch out Demelza doesn't fall into the arms of that dashing man #Poldark,” one person chastised.

Another viewer even noticed that the mine-owner seemed to have deteriorated recently, saying: “Ross is looking a little scruffy these days. He needs to make more of an effort or Demelza's attention may be focused elsewhere #poldark.”
As the episode drew to a close, the pair had a fraught conversation along a wind-battered beach as Demelza criticised her husband for failing to take up Lord Francis' offer to work for him.
Frustrated, Ross asked: "What do you want Demelza? A man who will lie down, roll over, sit up and beg for you? Well if so you’ve married the wrong man."
In the trailer for episode eight next week, Ross revealed to his wife that he met up with his old flame Elizabeth Warleggan (Heida Reed) and even admitted to still loving her.
