Bradley Walsh cut a very dapper figure as he sported a tweed suit in a first look snap of his character Pop Larkin released on Thursday.

The Chase host, 60, donned sideburns as he posed with co-star Joanna Scanlan, 59, who plays Ma Larkin, in The Darling Buds of May reboot.

Now confirmed as airing this Autumn, the stars will lead the cast which also boasts Bridgerton's Sabrina Bartlett, Tok Stephen and Stephen Hagan.

Bradley wrapped an arm around his on-screen wife for the image and added a splash of colour through a bright yellow tie.

Joanna also looked fantastic in her 1950s-style floral dress and sleeveless jacket which boasted a pink floral pattern.

The actress wore her brunette locks in smart curls and sported a slick of red lipstick in the first image from the series, which was taken outside.

Bradley, who is taking over the role of the wheeler-dealer which was played by David Jason in the 90s, has been seen filming in Faversham, Kent, in recent weeks.

Arriving on ITV this Autumn is The Larkins, is the much anticipated new television adaption of H.E Bates' novel The Darling Buds of May. 

This new six-part series is written by screenwriter Simon Nye and aims to capture the warmth, optimism and escapism of The Larkin family for a modern generation.

Set in the late 1950's, The Larkins is the story of a working-class family led by the golden-hearted wheeler dealer Pop Larkin (Bradley) and his wife Ma (Joanna), together with their six children.

Fiercely loyal to each other and their community, each Larkin family member has a strong work ethic, alongside a disinterest in authority.  

In the idyllic and beautiful Kent countryside, The Larkins have achieved a small patch of paradise where nothing is wasted and they enjoy life to the full. 

Alongside their battles with authority and snobbish villagers, The Larkins will follow the love story between the family's daughter Mariette ( played by Bridgerton actress Sabrina Bartlett) and village newcomer Cedric 'Charley' Charlton (Tok Stephen). 

Charley arrives in the village as an unworldly and officious accountant from the city, there to investigate the Larkins' tax affairs. He is soon distracted by the beautiful Mariette, with whom he falls head over heels in love. 

However, he quickly discovers that he has a romantic rival in the form of the handsome and mysterious Tom Fisher (Stephen Hagan). Mariette, on the other hand, may have plans of her own, which don't involve men. 

Speaking about taking on the role of Pop Larkin earlier this year, Bradley said: 'I'm thrilled to be asked to be part of this much loved and iconic series of stories. 

'The warmth and affection that H. E Bates has generated through his books is so uplifting and I cannot wait to be part of the Larkin family. It'll be a hoot.'
