The Sun offered up possible suspects ahead of last night’s broadcast, including two Scotsmen, Richard Madden and Robert Carlyle, who might fit with Kelly Macdonald’s Jo Davidson and her mysterious family connection – teased at the climax of episode four. But in the end it was an Irish actor who joined Line of Duty’s now bafflingly long list of criminal coppers: James Nesbitt.

The moment came at the climax of the most shocking episode yet, which also revealed DCI Joanne Davidson is related to former OCG boss Tommy Hunter – as many fans correctly predicted.
