"Making this with Jon [McClure] and Rev was such a chilled experience.
"All I hope is you enjoy it, sing and dance along."
Line of Duty fans have long wondered if the popular BBC show would be returning for a seventh series.
Leading men Martin Compston, who plays DI Steve Arnott and Adrian Dunbar, who plays Supt Ted, shared an update with fans, according to The Sun.
When asked if the show would be returning, Martin said: 'We're always talking about possibilities and schedules and whatnot.
"Everybody's got stuff going on at the minute, so I think anything, unfortunately, would be a way off."
"You know, the day people stop asking about the show will be a sad day, so I'm delighted that people are still excited about it.
"We'd all love to work together again at some point. We still all meet up.
"I met with Jed [Mercurio, the show's creator], Adrian [Dunbar] and Vicky [McClure] in London before Christmas - we went out for dinner, to hear what everyone's up to."
He added: 'It's amazing. It's the best feeling as an actor when you feel like the whole country's in the palm of your hand with what's coming next, and there's only a couple of you in the secret of who's surviving and what's going on.
"But because we're all so close and we all want the best for the show, we wouldn't do it again just for the sake of it.
"If it was just about doing it for the sake of it, we'd have probably done another three series by now.
"We really care about the quality of it. So if we come back, it would be for the right reasons.
"It won't just be: 'Get another one done.' It'll be because Jed thinks there's a story to tell."

British rock icon, 63, expecting baby with wife, 38, after 'secret' wedding

'I felt as all corona brides have been feeling: angry, sad, gypped, and confused as to when we should have a wedding. 'Roland and I were in the States for work. We desperately wanted to get married, even just legally, and so to honour our original date, we secretly eloped, just the two of us, atop a mountain in Aspen. It was the most magical moment of my life. 'It breaks my heart that my family could not be there to see it, but no one wanted to risk their safety. 'Two weddings was never my dream, but we adapted, separating the legal wedding from the celebratory wedding to come.'

EastEnders fans stunned as soap icon returns to TV leaving them 'obsessed'
Soap fans were thrilled by the unexpected return of EastEnders star Cheryl Fergison to TV screens after she opened up on her financial struggles since leaving Walford A fan-favourite EastEnders made an unexpected return to TV, leaving viewers thrilled. Cheryl Fergison, who played the iconic Heather Trott on the BBC soap, has been open about her lack of work in recent years. The actress revealed her financial struggles after leaving the soap in 2012, and shared how she got help from a foodbank as well as EastEnders legend Dame Barbara Windsor. Following the challenging time, Cheryl has made a comeback to the small screen. She shocked viewers when she rocked up in BBC Two's comedy series Mandy. The actress made a guest appearance in the show, which is written by Diane Morgan. It follows the goings on of permanently out-of-work Mandy Carter and her best friend Lola. Mandy was forced to attend a restart scheme at her local job centre, where she encountered an unimpressed Stella, played by Cheryl. Stella only said one worked to Mandy, as she called her "dirty". Cheryl's fans were thrilled by her return to screens as one said: "Obsessed with Cheryl 'two words' Fergison. She did a cracking job." Another added: "Congrats Cheryl!" Someone else commented: "Can we talk about the amount of cameos in Mandy cuz what do u mean Cheryl Fergison and Martin Lewis casually popped up within the first ep of series 4?" A fourth declared: "Ar Cheryl is in the new season of Mandy." While on EastEnders, Cheryl racked up a huge fan following until her character was sensationally killed off. Ben Mitchell smacked her over the head with a picture frame, causing her to hit her head on the way to the floor. Life after the soap hasn't been quite so straightforward, with Cheryl opening up on her struggles earlier this year. She revealed she had turned to a food bank for help and was relying on benefits. In order to try and make ends meet, Cheryl settled for far smaller jobs including opening a Chinese takeaway in Cleveleys earlier this year. The actress told 'My health is good, but my finances will take a long time to recover. Until I have steady work, I'm not rich or comfortable—I'm just surviving. "I've been saying yes to everything for no money, but I need to start valuing my work and asking for fair pay. Even my agent insists on it.' She added: 'Still, I'll never give in. I want to keep singing. If people criticise me for singing in small restaurants, so be it. At the end of the day, I'm an entertainer. Community has always been important to me, and I'll perform no matter the crowd.' Once at the top of her game as a primetime BBC star, Cheryl fell into dire straits after she was conned out of a 'humungous' amount of money. She said on This Morning: 'There is a circumstance that started this, which I can't talk about at this moment in time, but it started to spiral. "The only way I can say it is I was conned out of a humongous amount of money. That led to the cancer thing and everything spiralled. I was robbing Peter to pay Paul. I ended up having to sell my house. Now I am living up north and renting."

Ozzy Osbourne's funeral details 'revealed' with moving nod to his beloved hometown
Ozzy Osbourne passed away on Tuesday morning after his family shared the news last night and tributes have poured in celebrating the life of The Prince of Darkness A tribute to the late Ozzy Osbourne is reportedly being planned for his hometown of Birmingham, ahead of a smaller private funeral. This news emerged just a day after the musician's passing was announced. The Osbourne family revealed last evening that the iconic frontman of Black Sabbath had passed away at 76, surrounded by his family yesterday morning. His wife Sharon Osbourne, 72, and four of his children released a collective statement. The announcement sparked a flood of tributes for Ozzy, who reunited with his former bandmates for a farewell concert in Birmingham earlier this month. Since then, flowers have been placed on the Black Sabbath Bridge bench and the bridge itself, as fans visit the site to pay their respects, the Mirror reports. It's now been reported that a high-profile celebration of Ozzy's life could be held in the coming weeks, before a smaller, private funeral. Among those rumoured to be involved with the memorial event is Yungblud, 27. Yungblud, who performed at Ozzy's farewell concert Back to the Beginning, earlier this month, was believed to have developed a close bond with the late singer-songwriter. He shared with fans that he was "truly heartbroken" upon hearing the news last night. A source told The Sun: "There are conversations about a celebration of his life in Birmingham, the city that meant so much to him. Artists like Yungblud, who was seen by Ozzy as a musician who could carry on the mantle of what he started all those years ago, is expected to have a role in it." They added that many celebrities will want to pay their respects alongside countless fans. The source said, "There are hundreds of big names who will want to pay their respects and celebrate his life and legacy, as well as thousands of fans who would line the streets to say goodbye." It was announced yesterday that Ozzy, who had battled various health problems over the years, had passed away. His wife Sharon and four of his children - Louis, Aimee, Jack, and Kelly Osbourne - released a statement. The statement read: "It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning. He was with his family and surrounded by love. We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time. Sharon, Jack, Kelly, Aimee and Louis." Yungblud, whose real name is Dominic Harrison, was one of the many who paid tribute to Ozzy after the news broke. He shared a heartfelt post on Instagram reflecting on their friendship, accompanied by recent backstage photos of the two together. The 27-year-old wrote in his tribute: "I didn't think you would leave so soon the last time we met you were so full of life and your laugh filled up the room. But as it is written with legends, they seem to know the things that we don't." "I will never forget you - you will be in every single note I sing and with me every single time I walk on stage. Your cross around my neck is the most precious thing I own. You asked me once if there was anything you could do for me and as I said then and as I will say now for all of us the music was enough," continued. Yungblud, who recently released a charity cover of Black Sabbath's song Changes, ended his tribute with: "You took us on your adventure - an adventure that started it all. I am truly heartbroken. You were the greatest of all time."
