Line of Duty star Martin Compston has updated fans on the possibility of popular BBC series Line of Duty returning for a new series.
Compston starred in the show as Anti-Corruption Unit Detective Inspector Steve Arnott alongside the likes of Vicky McClure (DI Kate Fleming) and Adrian Dunbar (Superintendent Ted Hastings).
The show also featured the likes of Keely Hawes, Kelly MacDonald, Stephen Graham, Craig Parkinson and Lennie James.
Line of Duty first aired back in 2012 and followed Compston, McClure and Dunbar's characters as part of AC-12 trying to oust "bent coppers".

The series six finale averaged around 15.39 million viewers, according to The Mirror.
