Explaining the hilarious incident, Will said: "We have toilets for the show, but they look real as its a full set, so it's like you're walking round a police station.

"However twice over the last two series, somebody - and we don't know who - has done a number two in the fake toilets."

With Lorraine erupting into giggles, the actor chuckled: "Could you imagine being the person who's done it and then flushing it and thinking, "Oh no!'"

"And then imagine being the person who has to sort it out!"

While he does not know who the "phantom pooer" is, Will confessed producers have taken extra precautions to prevent the smelly incident from happening again.

He continued: "I don't know whether its the same person twice or someone else, but now we've had to put a sign up saying "These are not real toilets!""

Lorraine was unable to control her laughter after the anecdote, and joked: "That's terrible, outrageous. They need to be outed immediately!"

Popular police drama No Offence is returning to Channel 4 for its third series next week.

The series follows a team of detectives in a fictional division of the Greater Manchester Police, with Detective Inspector Viv Deering (played by The Thick Of It's Joanna Scanlan) in charge.

Will plays DC Spike Tanner, the tough guy of the group who is also known for his cheeky personality.

The third series is thought to follow race riots, sparked by an arson attack on a mosque, as well as the growth of the far-right community in the city.
