Speaking last year about the prospect of her character returning should the show come back at some point, she told the Radio Times: "I don't think my character will be back. I suppose it's a possibility at some point."
The star also spoke about making the show during the pandemic, saying: "I have to say that Line of Duty for me was a very odd experience because of COVID.
"It was strange days and it feels there's life before COVID and life after, and Line of Duty was right at that point for me."
Line of Duty is streaming on BBC iPlayer, and DVD and Blu-ray boxsets are also available to buy now.
