BBC,Social Media,Largs

The Scots actor paid a visit to The Fish Works chippy in the seaside town of Largs over the weekend where he has been hailed as a 'legend.'

Line of Duty star Martin Compston popped into a local chippy in Largs at the weekend with his family to enjoy what's been dubbed as the "best fish and chips in Scotland."

The Fish Works took to Facebook to gush about the former footballers surprise visit to their award winning fish and chip shop. The news comes as it was recently reported that the Scots actor almost pulled out of his career defining role as Steve Arnott in the hit BBC police drama Line of Duty before his agent urged him to go through with the series.

Martin previously told The Big Issue: "When I was offered 'Line of Duty', I'd already been offered the film The Wee Man." He further elaborated: "And at the time my focus was really on The Wee Man because growing up on the west coast of Scotland, that story is so ingrained in the culture, it's like our version of The Godfather."

The BBC show which first aired in 2012 has remained a solid fan favourite despite it being three years now since the last episode aired.
