A LINE of Duty star has revealed a surprise career move, and also her hidden talent. It comes just days after two of the beloved show's stars gave a HUGE series seven update. 5 5 5 5 Now Vicky McClure, 42, who plays Detective Inspector Kate Fleming on Line of Duty has revealed she is perusing a different career. The star has revealed she is now heading into the music industry now. In a post on Instagram, it was confirmed that Vicky has collaborated with Sheffield-based band Reverend and the Makers.

This one simply said: "Amazing!" Line of Duty stars spark new episode rumours as they reunite for night out LINE OF DUTY TEASE Vicky's news comes just days after Line of Duty fans were thrilled when two of the show's biggest stars dropped massive hints that the show will return next year with a seventh series. The show about a police anti-corruption squad weeding out bent coppers, has been a ratings hit for the BBC since it first aired in 2012. But there hasn't been a new series of the smash hit series since 2021 - with many fans disappointed about how it ended. However, this week leading men Martin Compston who plays DI Steve Arnott and Adrian Dunbar who plays Supt Ted Hastings on the BBC one cop thriller revealed an update on season 7. 5 The Sun exclusively revealed in April that the ratings hit would be returning for a long-awaited seventh outing in 2026, with filming starting in the first half of the year. Talking this week on the Nicky Byrne podcast, actor Martin was asked whether he'd be taking part in Sport Aid next May. He replied: "I think, already, I know I'm filming next year. This will be a pretty good one this next show." Asked by Nicky if he could give him the exclusive on what it is, Martin replied: "Not on this I think most people can have a guess though." Meanwhile Adrian was talking on Wednesday on Radio Ulster and was also asked about Line of Duty, which is filmed in Belfast, where the radio station broadcasts from. The actor said: "We're all keeping our fingers crossed, just waiting on the BBC to make an announcement. "I know Jed's working away. And I know me and Vicky and Martin really want to do it. So hopefully next year we'll be back in Belfast and rattling around the town making a nuisance of ourselves. "The wheel is turning on that. It's just down to the BBC to make an announcement."
