Martin Compston opens up on the hard times
At the time, Martin’s career was in full swing after landing a series of acting gigs.
He had been praised for his big-screen roles in dark drama Piggy and Irvine Welsh’s Filth.
Meanwhile, Line Of Duty also started in the same year.
But as acclaim grew, Martin broke up with his ex-girlfriend and suffered the loss of his grandmother.
Speaking to the Daily Record in 2012, he said: “Although it was my most successful year, my personal life went to hell a wee bit because I was so immersed in the work.”
In terms of his relationship, Martin admitted he had “nothing but good things” to say about his ex.
My personal life went to hell
However, the two couldn’t make it work.
He shared: “My big regret is that I couldn’t make it work any more. But it is just part of this job.
“Just now, I’m in the running for an amazing job and if I get it, that will mean spending eight months in China. So how can you make any relationship work on those terms?”
