“It’s a woman in a man’s world which is so empowering.”

Phillip: “I assume if the script was there and the idea from Jed [Mercurio] was there, then you would all say yes.

“You’ve said you don’t know what’s happening yet…”

However, Vicky failed to give a straight answer and dodged the question.

I would love to go again

She responded: “Yeah and I would love to go again. It would be weird when the day does come that we may never not go again.

“Not to work AD [Adrian Dunbar], Martin [Martin Compston] and Jed would be weird – we’ve done it for 10 years! It’s insane really.”

Vicky’s interview didn’t go unnoticed with viewers at home.

On Twitter, one Line of Duty fan shared their thoughts on the show’s future.

They wrote: “Probs in the minority, but I don’t want Line of Duty back. They managed to stretch that one story over I don’t know how many seasons, practically the same cliffhanger repeated then the ending was inevitably underwhelming… just leave it now.

“Do like Vicky though. Great actor #ThisMorning.”

However, others were taken aback by Vicky’s stunning appearance.

This Morning viewers all saying the same thing about Vicky

Praising the star, one said: “Bit of a celeb girl crush on Vicky McClure, ngl #ThisMorning.”

Another added: “Vicky has beautiful glowy skin #ThisMorning.”

A third wrote: “Completely 100% straight, gorgeous boyfriend and baby girl and little puppy but… Vicky McLure is my proper girl crush.”

“She looked fab,” another gushed, while a fifth asked: “Does @Vicky_McClure actually ever age?”
