The much anticipated return of Line of Duty could reportedly be pushed back to Easter next year due to Martin Compston's busy schedule.
The actor, who plays DS Steve Arnott in the hit police drama, is returning for the sequel to Amazon's hit The Rig, which has reportedly thrown a spanner in the works for Line of Duty.
In December, it was reported the corrupt cop show is set to return for a three part special, after unfinished business in season six.
