Line of Duty star Vicky McClure says it would be 'weird' if there's no more episodes

Vicky McClure has opened up about whether or not she wants there to be another series of Line of Duty.

The 38-year-old actress, who plays the role OF DI Kate Fleming in the BBC series, appeared on Thursday's This Morning to chat to Phillip Schofield and Rochelle Humes.

Despite being there to promote her new ITV series Trigger Point, 59-year-old Phillip couldn't resist asking her about Line of Duty.

"I’d love to go again, Vicky teased, before adding: "It would be weird when the date does come that we may never go again.

"Not to work with Ade, Martin and Jed would be really weird. We’ve done it for 10 years. It’s insane, really."

Line of Duty season six concluded on BBC one on May 2021, and Jed Mercurio has certainly left it open for there to be a seventh instalment.

However, he's been busy with working with Vicky on Trigger Point, which follows her character Lana Washington - who is an experienced bomb disposal operative - known as an "Expo".

Rochelle asked Vicky what it was about the script that got her involved, to which she replied: "Jed Mercurio who’s producing it… everything just turns to gold, but also he’s a good friend and I love working with people I’m close to.

"He sent me a text to say would I look and even just by the way he described it… then we took it through the normal channels, sent it to my agent and Daniel is a new writer and I just love that.

"Jed’s supporting him through this scheme and having somebody like Jed on your side is amazing."

Vicky continued: "His writing is incredible. It was a brand new story and a brand new world… I was discovering something completely different. Lana’s got so much going on that as an actor, I was like, 'It’s all there'."

Rochelle then asked Vicky if she had been doing her stunts, as she explained: "Yeah, as much as they’ll let you.

"There were certain things with Covid I was gutted about, especially the driving stuff. The people around us, the team, what they do is incredible and the way they keep everyone safe and that’s paramount. I felt completely safe in the things I was allowed to do, it was great."

She added: "If the script was written years ago, it would have been written by a man and that’s what I love about it. Daniel had me in mind for it from the beginning, which was amazing but the fact it’s a woman in a man’s world, I’m always up for that."

This Morning airs weekdays at 10am on ITV and ITV Hub.
