Martin Compston says toddler son said first swear word after mimicking his rude rant

Martin Compston has revealed he is the culprit for his son speaking his first swear word.

The tot is clearly following in his dad's footsteps and is a natural at learning lines, after repeating an expletive following Martin's foul-mouthed rant. The Greenock born actor, who is best known for his role as Steve Arnott in hit BBC drama Line of Duty, was left stunned to hear his toddler son repeat back the f-word after Martin said it in earshot.

Speaking on his podcast, Restless Natives, which he hosts with pal Gordon Smart, the Our House actor said: “I heard the wee man’s first swear word. I had to get the extension cable to charge the laptop and while Tianna the tech guru was sorting it, I ran out and I tripped over the extension cord."
