Kate Garraway brands Line of Duty finale 'disappointing' after Buckells is exposed as H

Kate Garraway has branded last night's Line of Duty finale "disappointing" after Ian Buckells was exposed as H last night.

In a final episode many fans, including Piers Morgan, branded "underwhelming", Buckells was hauled into an AC-12 interview room in which he repeated "no comment" to Ted Hastings' questioning.

Eventually, Buckells admitted his involvement after being offended at the suggestion he was a "blundering fool".

Responding to the reveal on Good Morning Britain today, Kate said that she was "so excited" about the finale but hadn't been able to watch it because she had suffered a power cut.

Despite that, Kate had found out who H was and wasn't hugely impressed.

"I've got to say - I mean, I haven't seen it yet - but from what's been reported in the papers, it is a little bit disappointing who H turned out to be," she said.

Jumping in, Charlotte Hawkins said: "I think it's one of those things where it's coming up to the finale and there's so much speculation that it's hard to live up to expectation."

But Kate remarked: "Well, I don't know. I just imagined he would be more senior, H. He or she."

"Ian Buckles is a bit of a buffoon, isn't he," Kate's co-host Sean Fletcher supplied.

Kate continued: "I think he's a bit of a buffoon and I think we were expecting some kind of - I mean, the actor's lovely! I don't know, I just expected it to be someone more Machiavellian, moving things around behind the scenes.

"Of course, what we're hoping for his a series seven and maybe Jed Mercurio and his clever way turn out to be that wasn't really H - there's an H plus or something!"

"Maybe he's just the front or something," Charlotte pointed out.

*Good Morning Britain airs weekdays at 6am on ITV
