Line of Duty stars Vicky McClure and Martin Compston went dancing on their joint birthday
The anti-corruption police officers took a well-deserved night off from fighting bent coppers

Line of Duty’s Vicky McClure and Martin Compston share a birthday – and they celebrated it this year with a night out on the town.
The stars of the BBC1 hit police drama, who play anti-corruption officers Kate Fleming and Steve Arnott, posted messages to each other on Twitter to mark their joint birthday, including footage of the duo dancing.
Friendship goals.
