LINE Of Duty will be back for a seventh season and one of the stars has already teased her return.

Christina Chong, who played DI Nicky Rogerson, revealed the cast have been asked about their availability for later in the year.

Last year Ted Hastings star Adrian Dunbar said that writer Jed Mercurio was working on a new script.

Christina first made her way onto the set as DI Steve Arnott's (Martin Compston) love interest in the second season.

She returned in 2021 for the sixth and most recent season of the show that follows the police department who sniff out "bent coppers".

It was revealed that Steve was thinking about leaving AC-12.

Christina, 41, told The Mirror: "So I have been asked about a season, is it seven?

"Yeah. Potentially Nicola Rogerson will be back for season seven."

Martin recently told The Times that the Line of Duty cast were booked up this year, but added that he'd like to slip back into Steve's trademark waistcoat soon.

"If there's a story Jed wants to tell, he'll come to us. As soon as there's some news we'll let you know, but right now there's nothing there," he added.

The Scottish actor is currently making another one of his travelogues about his home — only this time it’s the other nation where he spends half his life.

The first series saw him join pal Phil MacHugh on Scottish Fling, then they did the same with their Norwegian Fling, and now they’re heading to the US to explore Las Vegas in Nevada.

That’s where Martin lives for much of the year with his US actress wife Tianna Chanel Flynn where they have a luxury pad with a swimming pool and Tennent’s beer on tap.

Last week the actor dropped a not-so-subtle hint about his plans on Instagram when he posted a picture of himself in front of the famous Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas.

Martin wrote underneath: “Travel show with a twist @terntv are coming to me. Anybody up for being flung around Vegas?”

Meanwhile his pal Phil responded underneath that post with his own, featuring three emojis — a plane, an arrow with the word “soon” next to it and the American flag.

Which suggests they’ll be heading to the US to start filming imminently.

The Tern TV Martin referred to in his Insta post is probably the production company that gave us their Norwegian Fling show that looked at the similarities between Scotland and it Scandinavian neighbour.

There is likely to be few similarities between Martin’s home town of Greenock and Las Vegas where he enjoys family life with his wife and their young son.
