Line Of Duty creator Jed Mercurio has thrown fans of the series his biggest tease yet.
Sharing a picture of himself with the show’s main stars to Twitter, Jed teased that they were about to meet the “secret guest stars” of series six.
In the picture, Jed can be seen at a dinner table with Vicky McClure, Martin Compston and Adrian Dunbar.
There are two empty place settings waiting to be filled.
