Line Of Duty’s Martin Compston strips nude in resurfaced full frontal movie scenes

Line Of Duty star Martin Compston got his kit off to appear naked on screen for his role in film The Disappearance of Alice Creed.

The Scottish actor, 36, has acquired a huge fan base thanks to his role as ladies man DS Arnott in the BBC's much-loved crime show.

With viewers reeling there is just one more episode of Series 6 to go - which will hopefully see the unmasking of arch villain H - many of Martin's past acting credits have resurfaced, with fans being shocked by one particularly daring performance from the actor.

Back in 2009, Martin starred in The Disappearance of Alice Creed.

In one dramatic moment, a handcuffed Martin is seen pointing a gun at his girlfriend Alice, played by former Bond Girl Gemma Arteton.

Martin joked about the moment in 2013 - a year after Line Of Duty hit the air for the first time.

Alerting fans to the fact the movie was airing on BBC he wrote, "Despite how it looks me and the ex still on great terms, long as no 1 finds her #DisappearanceofAliceCreed #friBBC1."

The thriller saw Martin's character kidnap Alice in order to pocket a hefty ransom fee.

Martin's acting career has gone from strength to strength in the last decade with a string of roles in hit shows including The Great Train Robbery and The Nest last year.

But to Line Of Duty fans, Martin will always be best known as waistcoat loving AC-12 member Steve Arnott.

Ahead of Sunday's eagerly anticipated final, Martin has assured fans they will not be disappointed.

He called creator Jed Mercurio's work the 'perfect ending.'

Fans have been fearing it could be AC-12's last outing ever as Mercurio himself admitted: "We’re in a situation where it’s not entirely clear that there will be a seventh series."

Speaking on podcast Shrine Of Duty, Martin said questions had been asked if fans would want another series.

"Do people want us back? You don't want to overdo it," said Martin.

"Ten years in you start to think of legacy, and if it goes down that well it might be the perfect ending.

"But then we might go another couple of months and... what I will say is we won't do one just for the sake of doing it."
