After Victoria creator Daisy Goodwin confirmed that fan favourite Lord Melbourne (played by Rufus Sewell) would be returning in tomorrow's second instalment of the new season, viewers have been desperate to know if the former Prime Minister will be coming back as a regular character.
At a screening of the first episode last week, Daisy was joined by stars Jenna Coleman and Tom Hughes as well as executive producer Damien Timmer to reveal a few hints about season two.
Damien appeared to drop a huge spoiler about Lord M's return when he let slip that he will feature in more than one episode of the ITV period drama, saying: "There's quite a lot of drama over the episodes that Lord Melbourne features, and unexpected twists and turns which could intrigue people."

Noticing that he may have revealed too much, Damien was more coy when pressed as to whether the politician would be appearing in episodes after the second, saying: "We don't know.
"Well we do know, but we're not going to tell you" he joked.
"He is there in episode two, very much so," Daisy assured.

As it seems that he could be staying around the Palace for a while, could Lord M's presence drive a wedge between the Prince and his Queen?
And will the "drama" and "unexpected twists and turns" lead to Albert's position of power being superseded by Lord M's surprise return to the court?
Victoria season two continues tomorrow at 9pm on ITV.
