If finding bent coppers in Line of Duty wasn’t thrilling enough, Vicky McClure has found the next best thing after her rock star performance onThe One Show.
The 42-year-old, who played Detective Inspector Kate Fleming, shared a tender moment with her husband Jonny Owen after performing her new single Haircut live.
Vicky was on vocals for the new track by the Reverend and the Makers, with Jonny even playing bass guitar.
The Line of Duty star teamed up with the band, which is fronted by Jon McClure, to release their single in July and is featured on their upcoming album ‘Is This How Happiness Feels?’.
It’s not Vicky’s first venture into music after she previously led Our Dementia Choir in 2018 in a BBC documentary.
Elsewhere on The One Show, Sam Claflin, who played Billy Dunne in Daisy Jones and The Six, was asked whether viewers might anticipate another series.
The star responded: ‘I can’t speak for everyone, I can speak for myself. I think we’d love to. It’s just not in my hands! It’s not my decision unfortunately.
‘I think getting six actors together with our schedules-obviously, if we were a band, our schedules would be aligned.
‘But, we’re all actors, we all have families, we’re all from different parts of the world. The desire is there, but it’s out of my hands.’
Vicky’s performance comes after her Line of Duty co-star Adrian Dunbar recently confirmed the beloved crime drama is set to return to screens very soon.
In a recent interview with The Telegraph, he was asked point-blank if a seventh season was on the cards.
‘Oh, it’s definitely coming back,’ he said.
‘Some time next year. We’re just waiting for the BBC to announce it.’
Although the actor, 66, has announced the show’s return several times in the past few years, only for nothing to eventuate, he is certain this time.
‘I know Jed is writing. And Martin and Vicky are very keen,’ he added.
Vicky first met her husband Jonny, who is a director, after he casted her in the comedy film Svengali, alongside Boy George, Martin Freeman, and Maxine Peake.
From there, they ended up moving in together after just one week from meeting each other.
Talking on the How to Fail podcast with Elizabeth Day, Vicky said: ‘We literally lived together from a week of meeting. We have basically stayed together from that time until now. We’ve never lived apart. I am not sure about fate but I couldn’t see my life without him.
‘When you finally meet someone who gets you, lets you fly, loves you for who you are and you can have that genuine laughter, it’s amazing.’
After four years of romance, Jonny proposed on Christmas morning, hiding the engagement ring in tea bags.
The One Show is available to watch on BBC iPlayer.
