Line Of Duty’s Vicky McClure and Martin Compston enjoyed a boogie as they teased fans in a clip shared to Instagram on Friday while filming for series seven.
Actress Vicky, 42, who stars as DI Kate Flemming, was seen playfully dancing away and singing Whitney Houston hit, I Wanna Dance with Somebody.
Sitting in the front of a car, Vicky held up her phone as she created the black-and-white reel.
Alongside her was Martin, 41, who plays DS Steve Arnott in the show, and he appeared equally enthused to be on set and joined in with the playful dancing.
Alongside the clip, she penned: ‘Friday feeling anyone?!’
Cast-members Vicky, Martin and Adrian Dunbar are currently shooting new scenes as AC-12, some five years after an anti-climactic sixth series divided viewers of the hugely popular police procedural.
Fans were largely disappointed by the controversial ending, during which bumbling Det Supt Ian Buckells, played by Nigel Boyle, was unmasked as ‘H’ – the shadowy criminal mastermind behind an intricate network of police corruption.
But in recent weeks, creator Jed Mercurio has given fans a taste of what to expect from the seventh series.
Taking to Instagram earlier this year, Jed shared a shot of Dunbar, dressed in full police uniform, looking out across a busy office as he prepared to film his latest scenes as Superintendent Ted Hastings.
‘There’s only one thing I’m interested in and one thing only and that’s bent coppers,’ read an accompanying caption – one of Hastings’ best known quotes.
The popular police drama originally aired on BBC Two, before moving to BBC One from its fourth series onwards.
In February, it was revealed that BAFTA-winning star Robert Carlyle had been cast as guest character Detective Constable Shaun Massie.
He follows in the footsteps of former guest stars Kelly Macdonald, Stephen Graham, Thandiwe Newton, Daniel Mays, Keeley Hawes and Lennie James.
Carlisle said of joining the cast: ‘Having been a huge admirer of Jed Mercurio’s work for many years, I’m delighted to be given the opportunity to join such an exceptional cast for series 7 of Line of Duty.
‘The scripts for the series are excellent and will absolutely maintain the quality that the audience have come to expect from this fantastic show.
‘DC Massie is an extraordinary character and I look forward to bringing him to life.’
Series writer Jed added: ‘On Line of Duty we’ve been honoured by the glittering guest leads who’ve joined the cast over the years.
‘We couldn’t be more thrilled that Robert Carlyle will star in series 7 as Specialist Rifle Officer Shaun Massie.
‘I’ve been a huge fan of Robert’s work for many years and it will be a career highlight to work with him.
‘Robert always brings mesmerising power and depth to every role; I know viewers will be on the edge of their seats wondering what his character will do next, and why.’
Series seven of Line Of Duty will follow the familiar faces of AC-12 after it was been disbanded and rebranded as the Inspectorate of Police Standards.
The anti-corruption unit will be seen working harder than ever as Steve Arnott, Kate Fleming, and Ted Hastings are assigned their most sensitive case so far.
The synopsis teases: ‘Detective Constable Shaun Massie is a Specialist Rifle Officer (SRO), a veteran marksman, operating with Tactical Operations Unit 7 (TO-7) to take down Organised Crime Groups.
‘A gruff loner, Massie keeps himself to himself, but when his boss, TO-7’s commanding officer DI Dominic Gough, is accused of being a sexual predator, Massie’s otherwise detached demeanour changes drastically.’
Line Of Duty series seven is expected to air in 2027.
