The clip showed Vicky attempting to prank Martin by making him jump, and failing on multiple tries.

The Scottish actor, who plays DI Steve Arnott, simply lamented her funny behaviour, which came during a break from filming. 

But Martin soon turned the tables on Vicky by managing to catch her out, causing her to swear and chase after him.

Hinting there could be more drama to come when the show returns on Sunday, Martin said there ‘will be more than a few @Vicky_McClure-like reactions from below to what’s coming in Episode 5.’

He added: ‘#lineofduty6 Sunday9pm. Have a great weekend.’

It comes after a major spoiler for the show was accidentally leaked on Tuesday night by one of the BBC’s websites.

BBC Maestro inadvertently uploaded a post revealing a brand new character and a key plot twist, which is thought to transpire in the forthcoming next episode of the current sixth season.

AC-12’s Det Insp Steve Arnott, played by Martin Compston, was seen scrutinizing the image.

A scene featuring the character was even shown, before it was removed.

The Sun contacted creator and writer of Line Of Duty Jed Mercurio, who told them: ‘The outstanding detective work of eagle-eyed Line Of Duty fans has been awarded a glowing commendation from the gaffer himself, Supt Ted Hastings. Their call-up papers for AC-12 are in the post!’

This jovial response to the incident suggests the leak was nothing too drastic. 

DCS Carmichael, played by BAFTA award winner Anna Maxwell Martin, will appear from Sunday’s episode of the police show.

Fans will remember the experienced anti-corruption officer from the previous series, when she was brought in as an independent investigator from AC-3 after suspicions mounted over the integrity of Superintendent Ted Hastings (Adrian Dunbar).

Line of Duty continues on Sunday at 9pm on BBC One.
