Another wrote: “@louishair @vicky.mcclure love the hair, amazing.”

She wrote alongside the photo, “Lovely catching up with a certain ‘H’appy chap yesterday!” and tagged Steve Arnott actor Martin Compston to tell him she was “sad” he couldn’t join them.

Some fans noticed that Vicky and Adrian appeared to be rocking similar hairstyles, as one commented, “Love the matching hair” and another said, “Matching hair cuts as well, brilliant”.

Someone else put, “Same hair” while a fourth asked, “Are you both having a loveliest floppy hair competition?”

Actress Morven Christie, who recently starred as copper Lisa Armstrong in ITV crime thriller The Bay, commented on the post to call Vicky and Adrian a couple of “dreamboats”.

It might be a sign of withdrawal symptoms, since Line of Duty’s gripping fifth series drew to a close earlier this month, that so many others decided to ignore Vicky’s hair altogether and instead bombard the comments with references to Ted Hastings’ iconic colourful lingo.
