Line of Duty’s Vicky McClure spoke Welsh on telly and fans loved it

We already knew she was a brilliant actress and and pretty sound person but now Line of Duty star Vicky McClure has gone one step further to becoming a bonafide honorary Welshie, by speaking Welsh on TV. Vicky, who was in Merthyr Tydfil over the bank holiday weekend, appeared on S4C's Heno and had a crack at addressing viewers in Welsh.

Vicky, along with partner, Merthyr filmmaker, writer and TalkSport host, Jonny Owen, were in town to host a fundraising night for Merthyr Town FC, of which they are sponsors, and the nightly TV show managed to grab Vicky for a chat and test her Welsh chat.
