Vicky McClure was spotted getting into character as a stoney-faced bomb disposal operative during dramatic funeral scenes for her new ITV drama Trigger Point. 

The actress, 38, who has reunited with Line Of Duty creator Jed Mercurio for the series, donned a smart black suit to record the scenes outside St Paul's Church in Harlow in Essex. 

Vicky is set to play ex-military bomb disposal expert Lana Washington who is pushed to her breaking point after discovering a series of improvised explosive devices threatening London during a terrorist campaign.

During the scenes, it appeared that Vicky's character Lana and her colleagues were bidding farewell to one of their own, as a coffin covered with the Union Flag was carried into a hearse.

The team sent the car on its way before heading back into the church, hinting that perhaps the London terrorist plot hits them close to home.

While Vicky displayed a stoney expression while recording the scenes, between takes she could be seen laughing alongside her co-stars, and even launched into an impromptu dance routine.
