Line Of Duty favourite Martin Compston suffered an unfortunate accident during his first proper night out since the coronavirus lockdown came into effect.
The DS Steve Arnott actor, 36, shared a picture of a rather damaged bush on Instagram and told fans he had tried to use it like a “wrestling ring” after a visit to a beer garden – but ended up going “right through it”.
What did Line Of Duty actor Martin Compston say?
Martin told his followers the wild night out ended in him dancing his heart out before making the ill-fated decision to bounce against a hedge. Afterwards, he could only apologise to his poor back for what he had put it through.
Ahead of the first episode of Line Of Duty airing on BBC One on Monday (August 3) evening, the Scottish star posted a picture of a shrub with a huge hole in it.
