Sam Heughan has come in for criticism by some of his fans on Instagram after he posted a picture of himself captioned: "Goodbye Belgium!"
The Outlander star took to social media earlier this week, which showed the 43-year-old with a lit cigar hanging out of his mouth.
And some of his loyal followers were less than impressed with the hunk's decision to smoke, reports Hello Magazine.

Taking to social media, the Scottish star celebrated ten years since he was cast to play the lead role of Jamie Fraser in Outlander.

His on-screen love, Caitriona Balfe, also penned a sweet message marking the occasion.
She wrote: "The man, the myth, the legend…!!!! Happy Castaversary darling!!! (I may have been slightly premature a few days ago!!) So happy I got
