There wasn t a burner phone in sight on Wednesday as Line Of Duty star Nigel Boyle tucked into a Pakistani meal at his favourite Whitechapel restaurant.
The actor got stuck into a hefty mixed grill consisting of lamb chops, chicken tikka and seekh kebab after calling into east London eatery Tayyabs for dinner.
Boyle - unmasked as elusive criminal mastermind H during Line Of Duty s sixth series - was in the mood to celebrate after cheering his beloved Aston Villa to victory in the FA Youth Cup final.
The team won their fourth FA Youth Cup with a 2-1 victory against Liverpool at Villa Park, and brummie Boyle admitted he was delighted with the result as he prepared to eat.
