Speaking on Tuesday's This Morning, the Irish actor joked that he was worried about the other stars of the show's eating habits now the series has been postponed. "We were a month in and we had to stop and we've had to go away and now I'm kind of worried to tell you the truth Holly about what's going to happen," he began, adding: "Because a lot of us are eating quite a lot, so, you know Vicky McClure up there in Nottingham, you know she's on the rich tea, you know what I mean?"

The Irish actor's comments come soon after fellow Line of Duty star Martin Compston also spoke out about the situation surrounding the postponed drama. Martin, who also recently starred in BBC's The Nest, appeared on Good Morning Britain recently and revealed how the new series will be the "best ever". He stated: "The waistcoat has been put away. I'm in daily contact with the guys, it's crazy time. But the scripts this year... I keep waiting every year, 'This isn't going to be the year that [creator Jed Mercurio] doesn't deliver', but again, they just seem better than ever. We will be back at some point again to get them finished and I hope they'll be back bigger and better and longer!" We can't wait.
