Line of Duty star Vicky McClure stuns The One Show viewers with hidden talent as she reveals exciting new career first
The Line of Duty star, 42, appeared on the BBC programme alongside frontman Jon McClure, 43, and actor Sam Claflin, 39, where they joined hosts Alex Jones, 48, and Clara Amfo, 41, on the sofa for a lively chat.
However, it was the unexpected musical moment at the end of the show that really got fans talking.
Vicky joined Jon and the band on stage for a performance of their latest track Haircut, which dropped on July 18 - and she didn't disappoint.
For the performance, the actress cut a stylish figure in a black tailored jumpsuit featuring velour panels and wide-leg trousers.
She completed the look with a pair of silver platform heels as she confidently belted out the energetic tune.
Following her incredible performance, fans took to the social media platform X (formerly Twitter) in droves to praise the star.
One gushed: 'Yessss @Reverend_Makers and @Vicky_McClure on @BBCTheOneShow tonight! Love this tune, proper dancing music (dancing and love heart emojis) need more Rev on't telly.';
'Brilliant! That was absolutely brilliant. It's such a bloody good song. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️.'; 'Tuned in just for this! Love @Reverend_Makers and love @Vicky_McClure ❤️.'
Last month, the TV star announced to her Instagram followers that she would be joining the band Reverend and The Makers on their new track.
In a collaboration post, the band teased their new music video, which shows Vicky and the Reverend and The Makers lead singer Jon performing on stage.
They captioned the post: 'HERE IT IS. TV legend @vicky.mcclure singing on record for the first time ever.'
'Some words from Vicky "I'm no Whitney (laughing emoji) but i love music. Making this with Jon & Rev was such a chilled experience. All i hope is you enjoy it, sing and dance along".'
'HAIRCUT is out July 18th but you can presave now using the link in the Rev bio.'

The rock band also revealed in another post that Vicky's husband, Jonathan Owen, plays the bass on their new hit single.
However, it's not the first time the actress has dabbled in the music world.
She previously fronted the BBC's Our Dementia Choir documentary, which aired in 2018.
The two-part series followed the acclaimed actress as she embarked on a deeply personal journey to explore the true power of music in combatting dementia.
In the documentary, filmed in 2018, she formed a choir in her hometown of Nottingham made up entirely of people living with dementia, aiming to discover whether music could make a measurable difference in their lives.
Formed during the documentary, Our Dementia Choir is still going strong, coming together to sing and share powerful performances with audiences across the country.

EDEN CONFIDENTIAL: Why Alison can no longer cast Sussexes' lookalikes...
Bafta-winning photographer Alison Jackson – who specialises in amusing images featuring lookalikes of the rich, famous and powerful – is planning to stage a show at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival later this month. She has, however, encountered a serious problem. The show was due to include doppelgangers of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, but Jackson has failed to cast actors to play them with little more than a fortnight until the curtain goes up. 'I have a couple of 'Prince Williams' who've come forward and they look quite good, but no 'Meghan' or 'Harry' has turned up,' she tells me. The artist, 65, claims this is because the Sussexes have become such toxic figures that no one wants to play them. 'I think that people don't like Meghan, they don't trust her and they think she's an operator who sucks everything she can out of Harry,' Jackson claims. She explains that her lookalikes 'tend to relate to' the person they are playing. Jackson blames Harry's explosive interview with the BBC in May after he lost a legal challenge over his taxpayer-funded security in Britain. The California-based prince said the King 'won't speak to me because of this security stuff', but that he did not want to fight any more and did 'not know how much longer my father has'. Jackson tells me: 'He's gone too far, because every time he does a TV interview he takes some dig at King Charles, which is below the belt and beyond the pale and people don't like it. He implied that his father might die.' She previously had lookalikes of Harry, 40, and Meghan, who turned 44 yesterday, but says 'they now won't come forward'. Jackson adds: 'As Meghan gets more and more assertive, the lookalikes disappear. They've probably all cut their hair short and look different.' It will be a case of On His Majesty's Secret Service! King Charles is seeking a £55,000-a-year security head to vet his own staff. The successful candidate must identify any security risks among workers. An advert says the 'senior personnel security manager' will be based at Buckingham Palace, but will oversee 'security services across multiple royal residences'. Love is in the air for Lord Brocket's son At 6ft 8in, William Nall-Cain was always going to find it a tall order to choose a bride who could measure up to him. Happily, the son of former I'm A Celebrity star Lord Brocket has met his match in Christy Boulet, a lawyer from Puerto Rico where his mother, former model Isabel Lorenzo Brocket, was also born. In a picture posted online, William, 34, towers over his new wife at their wedding in the Caribbean island's capital, San Juan. 'There is no one else on this planet who makes me feel like anything in this life is possible, and like the luckiest man alive,' William has said of his bride. Earlier this year, I disclosed that his sister, Antalya, had separated from her husband, Prince Alexander von Preussen, less than five years after their wedding near Brocket Hall, her ancestral home in Hertfordshire. Sir Grayson's all fired up He made his name with ceramics depicting child abuse and sado-masochism before being embraced by the Establishment. And Sir Grayson Perry is sick of rich and famous Leftie-types posing as revolutionaries. 'One of the things that absolutely infuriates me is millionaire cultural celebrities pretending they're outsider rebels,' declares the cross-dressing potter, 65. Who's in the Spice Girls' group chat? The Spice Girls once sang that 'friendship never ends', but it can clearly become strained over time. Melanie Chisholm, aka Sporty Spice, has revealed Victoria Beckham and Geri Halliwell are excluded from some of their WhatsApp chat groups. 'There are subgroups within the group,' Mel C admits in an interview Down Under. 'I definitely know there is a chat group that doesn't contain me, but somewhere else we keep Ginger or Posh out. Like all friendship groups, we have many ways of communicating.' Chisholm, 51, who was the only one of the four other Spice Girls to attend Mel B's second wedding to Rory McPhee in Morocco at the weekend, also admits she regrets not holding on to her outfits from the pop group's heyday. Julie dresses as she likes it for birthday bash Usually seen wearing Lycra while performing yoga poses at her husband's Mapperton estate in Dorset, the Countess of Sandwich opted for a medieval look at a fellow aristocrat's ancestral home at the weekend. American-born Julie Montagu, 51, wore a red velvet gown for the Earl of Devon's fancy dress birthday party at Powderham Castle near Exeter. The bash had Shakespeare's pastoral comedy As You Like It for its theme. 'I took it very seriously,' the countess says. She and her husband, Luke, the 12th Earl of Sandwich, have been running the family's Mapperton estate since 2016, with wellness retreats among her initiatives. A qualified yoga instructor, Julie, became the Countess of Sandwich after the death of her father-in-law, 81, in February. Kirstie's parenting hoo-haa Location, Location, Location star Kirstie Allsopp is aghast at a sorry display of modern parenting. 'I'm staying in a hotel in Switzerland, just had breakfast next to an English couple with one child, probably aged five,' says the television presenter, 53. 'He ate his breakfast watching an iPad on the table in front of him,' the presenter complains on X. She goes on to ask her 431,800 followers: 'When are people going to wake up to how wrong this is?' Kirstie, who has two teenage sons with her husband, property developer Ben Andersen, as well as two adult stepsons, adds: 'This is absurd. If they can't be bothered to engage their child in conversation at the table when they don't have to cook or wash up, then what hope is there?' Her comments prompted a mixed response online, with some parents and teachers noting the 'damage' caused to children by excessive screen time. Others were less sympathetic, prompting Kirstie to respond: 'It's quite interesting to note that the vast majority of abuse is from men.'

The Traitors winner Harry Clark announces debut memoir focused on his faith
The 24-year-old won the second series of the hit BBC show, which sees a group of 'faithfuls' attempt to banish the 'traitors', who murder during the night-time, in order to win a prize pot of up to £120,000. Staying Faithful is slated for release this autumn and will recount Clark's formative years serving in the British Army, before his reality TV fame, along with how his Christian faith has and continues to guide him through his life. Speaking about the release, Clark said: 'Faith has always been important to me. 'It's the blueprint to everything I do, it helped me when I was younger, it guided me when I served in the British Army, every day I'm thankful that I'm part of something bigger outside of myself.' The reality star and former British Army engineer took home £95,150 in the 2024 series of The Traitors, after deceiving his friend Mollie Pearce. An average of 5.5 million people tuned in to watch the dramatic finale that crowned Clark as the series two winner. He recently also starred in the seventh season of BBC Two's Pilgrimage: The Road Through The Alps, where he joined six celebrities on a 300km pilgrimage through the Austrian and Swiss Alps to Einsiedeln Abbey as they discussed their different faiths and beliefs. Clark previously opened up to the PA news agency about how the pilgrimage changed him for good and why he thinks people need to talk about faith more openly. He said: 'People think you can't talk about religion – especially the youth – because there's something wrong with it, or it seems like if you believe in one particular religion, you hate all others. But that's not what it is. It doesn't have to be that deep. 'Everyone makes it so serious. If you believe, you believe. If you don't believe, you don't have to, and it's not the end of the world.' Clark also stars in the new series of Channel 4's Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins, which sees recruits endure special forces training in an attempt to make it through to the end. He is joined by former Premier League footballer Troy Deeney, Strictly Come Dancing 2025 runner-up Tasha Ghouri, singer Lucy Spraggan, and ex-Love Island contestants Chloe Burrows and Adam Collard. The memoir will be published by the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge (SPCK), a charity and independent Christian publisher founded in 1698. The SPCK has also published a range of Bibles, guides to faith, academic texts and books for children with the aim of serving readers 'at every stage of the Christian journey'. Staying Faithful will be published on September 30.

Johnny Vegas admits he had a 'meltdown' amid his ADHD battle as he reflects on the 'most difficult part of his life' and what saved him
has admitted he had a 'meltdown' amid his ADHD battle as the comedian, 54, opened up about the most challenging year of his life. The actor and comedian's upcoming two-part Channel 4 show sees him create a piece of art for his hometown, St. Helens, in Merseyside. However during filming, the star was rocked by a shock health diagnosis as he discovered he had ADHD. Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a behavioural condition defined by inattentiveness, hyperactivity and impulsiveness. And now Johnny has opened up about the 'most difficult time of his life' and how his art saved him. He told The Mirror: 'I went into meltdown, I couldn't function. It seemed insurmountable. I had to get professional help. This has been the most difficult part of my life. But the art saved me.' Explaining how the noise in his brain stops when he is working on his art he continued: 'With ADHD, when everyone else is going to bed, my brain goes, "It's just you and me now". 'It lives to work against you. But the one time the white noise stops, the one time I can focus, the one time that having ADHD is good for you is art. The world makes sense when I am working on my art.' Johnny took a year off work amid his health battle before he returned for his debut art exhibition. His new documentary, titled Johnny Vegas: Art, ADHD and Me, will see the star embark on a 'creative endeavour' that ends up being a 'journey of self-discovery'. The documentary delves into 'an honest and heartfelt conversation about mental health and understanding yourself'. Previously speaking about the new show, Johnny revealed he was once a 'dedicated wannabe ceramicist'. He said: 'I used to sit at a potter's wheel on stage. People thought it was a gimmick but I actually started out as a dedicated wannabe ceramicist. 'Art was my educational saviour. Over years of witnessing what felt like an ongoing decline in educational commitment to the very same arts I felt it was time I threw my hat back into the ring. 'To kickstart a debate about culture in general, whilst giving something of a visual a symbol of gratitude back to my honestly beloved town.' Channel 4 boss Shaminder Nahal revealed the documentary had been filmed over years and added: 'This series brings to life the power of art for everyone – how it can soothe, help, energise and inspire. 'Beautifully filmed over several years by Eddie Stafford, the series showcases Johnny's unique humour, heart and passion – uncovering the intricacies and demands of artistic process along the way. 'It's an enlightening, eye-opening and emotional journey.' WHAT IS ADHD? Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a behavioural condition defined by inattentiveness, hyperactivity and impulsiveness. It affects around five per cent of children in the US. Some 3.6 per cent of boys and 0.85 per cent of girls suffer in the UK. Symptoms typically appear at an early age and become more noticeable as a child grows. These can also include: Constant fidgeting Poor concentration Excessive movement or talking Acting without thinking Inability to deal with stress Little or no sense of danger Careless mistakes Mood swings Forgetfulness Difficulty organising tasks Continually starting new tasks before finishing old ones Inability to listen or carry out instructions Most cases are diagnosed between six and 12 years old. Adults can also suffer, but there is less research into this. ADHD's exact cause is unclear but is thought to involve genetic mutations that affect a person's brain function and structure. Premature babies and those with epilepsy or brain damage are more at risk. ADHD is also linked to anxiety, depression, insomnia, Tourette's and epilepsy. There is no cure. A combination of medication and therapy is usually recommended to relieve symptoms and make day-to-day life easier.
