It appears Diana Gabaldon has been left a little out of the loop when it comes to the latest Outlander prequel TV show news.

One of the most vital players in the creation of the original Outlander show, when Starz confirmed that they were indeed making a prequel show based on the books she is currently working on, they were at pains to confirm that Diana had been brought in as a "Consulting Producer" on the project.

However, the much-loved author has been left a little bemused by the whole thing, taking to her official Facebook page to confirm that no one had talked to her about coming on board for the new show.Though she did add that didn't mean she wouldn't be involved going forward.

Starting off her post with "This is interesting...", she wrote: "Note that I have no idea what a "Consulting Producer" is, and no one has talked to me about being one.
