Line Of Duty favourite Martin Compston suffered an unfortunate accident during his first proper night out since the coronavirus lockdown came into effect.
The DS Steve Arnott actor, 36, shared a picture of a rather damaged bush on Instagram and told fans he had tried to use it like a “wrestling ring” after a visit to a beer garden – but ended up going “right through it”.
