We told you in 2019 how the telly star responded to anti-Catholic abuse on Twitter after he was branded a “bead rattling p***k”.

The Greenock-born actor was targeted by the social media troll after tweeting about Coleen Rooney’s public spat with Rebekah Vardy.

Quoting his character DS Steve Arnott from the hit BBC drama, Compston posted: “For the purposes of the tape, I can confirm I am not Coleen Rooney.”
