The stars of the BBC1 hit police drama, who play anti-corruption officers Kate Fleming and Steve Arnott, posted messages to each other on Twitter to mark their joint birthday, including footage of the duo dancing.

Friendship goals.

McClure’s post, below, shows a video of herself and Martin dancing to Jess Glynne’s All I Am on a night out, with the words: “Who better to share my birthday with!! Happy Birthday partner in crime.”

Compston, meanwhile, shared a slapstick gif of him and Vicky pulling guns on each other, and wrote: “A massive happy birthday to the bestest partner against crime on the telly @Vicky_McClure. PS never draw on a Notts girl.”

The official Line of Duty Twitter account also marked the occasion: “Happy Birthday to the duo themselves,” reads the tweet.

“Have a fantastic day. Don’t do anything Steve wouldn’t do.”
