"Making this with Jon [McClure] and Rev was such a chilled experience.
"All I hope is you enjoy it, sing and dance along."
Line of Duty fans have long wondered if the popular BBC show would be returning for a seventh series.
Leading men Martin Compston, who plays DI Steve Arnott and Adrian Dunbar, who plays Supt Ted, shared an update with fans, according to The Sun.
When asked if the show would be returning, Martin said: 'We're always talking about possibilities and schedules and whatnot.
"Everybody's got stuff going on at the minute, so I think anything, unfortunately, would be a way off."
"You know, the day people stop asking about the show will be a sad day, so I'm delighted that people are still excited about it.
"We'd all love to work together again at some point. We still all meet up.
"I met with Jed [Mercurio, the show's creator], Adrian [Dunbar] and Vicky [McClure] in London before Christmas - we went out for dinner, to hear what everyone's up to."
He added: 'It's amazing. It's the best feeling as an actor when you feel like the whole country's in the palm of your hand with what's coming next, and there's only a couple of you in the secret of who's surviving and what's going on.
"But because we're all so close and we all want the best for the show, we wouldn't do it again just for the sake of it.
"If it was just about doing it for the sake of it, we'd have probably done another three series by now.
"We really care about the quality of it. So if we come back, it would be for the right reasons.
"It won't just be: 'Get another one done.' It'll be because Jed thinks there's a story to tell."

BBC to investigate cocaine use by Strictly Come Dancing stars
Reports suggest the Strictly stars' drug use was discussed on the BBC dancing show, according to The Sun, and law firm Pinsent Masons has been appointed to lead the investigation. The Strictly cast members involved in the investigation have not been named by the news outlet. Tomorrow's front page: Strictly cocaine probe - BBC's law firm inquiry into two stars READ MORE: According to reports, the allegations were made in a legal submission by law firm Russells in March on behalf of former contestant Wynne Evans, who was dropped by the BBC after using 'inappropriate language' during the launch of the Strictly tour. Others have also reported drug use on the show, according to The Sun. A BBC spokesperson said: 'We have clear protocols and policies in place for dealing with any serious complaint raised with us. 'We would always encourage people to speak to us if they have concerns. It would not be appropriate for us to comment further.' This latest investigation comes after the BBC launched a review into Strictly in 2024, centred around allegations of bullying and harassment against former professional dancer Giovanni Pernice, made by his former dance partner Amanda Abbington. RECOMMENDED READING: The corporation upheld some, but not all, of the complaints made – and introduced a series of new measures aimed at improving welfare. This included the introduction of a chaperone who is present 'at all times' during training room rehearsals. EastEnders star James Borthwick was also suspended from the BBC after a video emerged of the actor using a disabled slur on the set of the dance programme.

The Sun was first to reveal how the axed Islanders will re-enter the villa tonight show sussed Love Island in new fix row as viewers convinced they have worked out who Islanders will save LOVE Island viewers have been quick to call out a "fix" as they insist one couple will sail through to the show final. It came after The Sun was first to reveal how the dumped Islanders would make their comeback to the Mallorca villa this weekend - and decide the fate of the show finalists. Advertisement 6 Love Island fans are convinced former Islanders will save one show couple in a series 'fix' Credit: Eroteme 6 They reckon Meg and Dejon will be saved by their former co-stars on their return to the Mallorca compound Credit: Eroteme 6 It comes despite fan claims Dejon has been 'gaslighting' his partner Credit: Eroteme We then exclusively told how it is a popular couple expected to be in contention for Monday's final £50K cash prize who in fact are given the boot tonight. The cast returned to the villa for the always-shocking Islander Jury on Friday and sent this pair packing. Former Islanders including Harry Cooksley's ex Emma Munro, Billykiss Azeez, and smitten couple Harrison Solomon and Lauren Wood, voted for the couple they wanted to boot. While The Sun can't reveal their identities at this crucial stage of the ITV2 dating show, we can share that Islanders made their decisions having watched back footage and been shocked by what they saw. Advertisement Yet despite a very rocky date night in the villa earlier this week, viewers are convinced Meg and Dejon will last the distance - after the public recently voted out Conor and Megan. They were stunned how the couple appeared to get more public votes of support than the axed stars and one took to X to write: "I don't buy ppl are voting for Meg and Dejon and angel and Ty over Megan and Conor it's got to be a fix." Another raged: "Love Island this is a f**king fix. All of them are going to target our Queens. Leaving Dejon and Meg to the finals." A third suggested: "The ex islanders are obvs not going to vote Meg and Dejon out. This is a fix." Advertisement One then added: "Nah I'm sorry but this has to be a producer fix… no one wants meg & d in the villa!!!" It is the decision of the individual Islanders as to who they send home. Watch the moment FURIOUS row explodes between Love Island's 'strongest couple' as they head for a split just days before final The Sun has gone to ITV for comment. Furious fans have previously accused Dejon of gaslighting Meg as they approach the villa final. Advertisement This led show fans to threaten to call broadcasting regulator Ofcom. Dejon then confessed he had no idea what Meg's middle name is, before fans claimed they had "worked out" why he had seemingly turned on her. The couple partnered up right at the start of the series and have since progressed to boyfriend and girlfriend status. COUPLE AXED Previously, we told how the ex-Islanders have spoken and ousted a couple from Love Island in a dramatic fire pit moment. Advertisement While The Sun can't reveal their identities at this crucial stage of the ITV2 dating show, we can share that Islanders made their decisions having watched back footage and been shocked by what they saw. A source ahead of tonight's reveal said: 'This couple have been a big part of this series so this is a shocking moment. 'But having watched it back, ex- Islanders have become privy to action they weren't fully aware of and it left them more than questioning the integrity of this connection. 'The couple were sent packing on Friday afternoon and the scenes will air on Sunday.'
