Vicky McClure and her Line Of Duty family

Line Of Duty star Vicky McClure admitted she and her co-stars have had arguments off-camera.

She told The Mirror that they're like a family, and from time to time they have, 'p***** each other off.'

But she said it's, 'never something so bad it’s not repairable.'

Vicky plays DI Kate Fleming in the show, alongside Adrian Dunbar and Martin Compston.

Dunbar plays Supt Ted Hastings, and Compston plays DS Steve Arnott.

The trio are not only the lead characters in the show, but they're also great friends in real-life.

She said whenever they have an argument, 'it's no big drama.'

'You can have a laugh and if anything it’s Adie who gets the brunt of it having to put up with me and Martin acting like a pair of school kids around him.'

'There’s a perfect dynamic,' Vicky added.

She continued, 'The reality of it is of course we have, of course we have p***** each other off.'

'It would be wrong of me to say, 'that has never happened,' as that would be a lie.'

'But in the same way it is with family, it’s never something so bad it’s not repairable.'

Vicky revealed that sometimes the arguments stemmed from lack of sleep.

'I might not have had any sleep that night,' she explained.

'He might not have had any sleep or loads of lines to learn, you get up to set you are knackered, there’s a lot going on.'
