Line Of Duty season 6 fans voiced their frustration and swore at the screen as the show dropped a huge, agonising cliffhanger at the end of episode four.
Last night’s episode of the smash-hit BBC crime drama (Sunday April 11) was a thrill ride with a tense shoot-out, deaths and plenty of returning characters.
However, just when viewers couldn’t take any more, the show revealed a cliffhanger that frustrated as much as delighted.
And now fans have to wait until next Sunday to find out what’s going to happen.
**WARNING – SPOILERS AHEAD**
What happened at the end of episode four of Line Of Duty season 6?
At the end of the episode DNA found in Farida Jatri’s house matched with bent copper Jo Davidson.

“Are Jo and John Corbett blood related #LineOfDuty.”
