The Lord of the Rings stars have condemned the 'relentless' racist abuse suffered by cast members of the new spin-off TV series, The Rings Of Power.

Elijah Wood, Sean Astin, Billy Boyd and Dominic Monaghan, who starred in the Peter Jackson film trilogy, all posted the message: "You're all welcome here".

This comes after non-white actors were trolled online for portraying a range of white fictional characters.

Sophia Nomvete, Ismael Cruz Cordova and Lenny Henry all appear in the series.
