Adrian Dunbar, famed for his role in Line of Duty, has hinted at the potential return of the acclaimed BBC series, three years after its dramatic conclusion.
Whispers of a revival have been circulating as Adrian, alongside co-stars Martin Compston and Vicky McClure, were said to have met with series creator Jed Mercurio to talk about bringing the show back.
Speaking on Lorraine's Wednesday episode, Adrian gave fans a glimmer of hope with his eight-word tease: "there's more than a little bit of hope" regarding the possibility of another season, reports the Mirror.
He elaborated: "It's just when the grown ups decide to make an announcement about it. We don't want to tease the British public forever about it. We want it to happen, everyone wants it to happen so let's make it happen."
The conversation then shifted to the actor's thoughts on the writing process: "It just depends on when all the stars align and of course Jed has to write it."
Lorraine humorously suggested: "He's got to write it, that's 'true'. We have to lock him in a shed," to which Adrian responded with a laugh, "Yes we have to lock him in a shed at the back of the garden."
The chat also touched upon I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here, as Adrian mentioned his good friend Barry McGuigan is set to join the jungle fray.
Adrian shared his insights: "Barry is in there. I'll tell you one thing about Barry McGuigan, he will be there to take over, he won't be there to take part because he is competitive. I'm putting my money on Barry definitely because he will be good.
"As he said himself it's the mental end not the physical thing for him because he has always been unbelievably fit so it'll be the mental thing for Barry but we'll see how it goes. It'll be interesting."
Barry touched down in Australia on Monday, gearing up for the upcoming series set to premiere on ITV come Sunday, November 17. Speaking about his participation, the former boxing champ expressed that now is the opportune moment to tackle the trials of the Jungle, both physically and mentally.
"It can be physically arduous, but it's the psychological part of it that I want to conquer before I get too old," he shared with ITV. "I'm 63 now. I'd like to think I'm a young 63, but that doesn't mean it'll make any of these Challenges easy. I'd rather do it when I'm 63, than 73, put it that way!"
