Line of Duty’s official Twitter account issued a statement saying: “In light of the spread of Covid-19, after much consideration, @worldprods are suspending filming of #LineofDuty S6 with the support of the BBC.”

Dunbar, 61, who plays Superintendent Ted Hastings to This Morning recently: “We were a month in, and we had to stop, we had to go away.

"I'm kind of worried to tell you the truth, about what's going to happen...because a lot of us are eating quite a lot.

"Vicky McClure is up in Nottingham and she's on Rich Tea, you know what I mean?
