Line of Duty's Vicky McClure and Welsh filmmaker Jonny Owen send video message to Welsh hospital workers

Star of Line of Duty, Vicky McClure and her Welsh partner, filmmaker and actor Jonathan Owen, have sent a lush shout out to workers at Merthyr Tydfil's Prince Charles Hospital who are on the frontline of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Merthyr boy Owen and the actor, best known for playing AC-12 detective Kate Fleming in the popular BBC drama, are on lockdown at their Nottinghamshire home and have been a couple since meeting on the set of Owen's film, Svengali, which came out in 2013.

In the video Vicky says: "Hello, we want to give a massive shout out to everybody at Prince Charles Hospital in Merthyr Tydfil.

"The CDU, ITU, A&E, doctors and nurses. It's horrifically tough times and without you I don't know where we'd be.

Jonathan added: "Admin staff, porters, everybody, you're doing amazing thank you."

The Welsh actor, writer and director added 'diolch yn fawr iawn,' which the This Is England star tried to emulate  to much amusement to the pair. "I tried!"

Vicky finished the video by saying: "We love you loads!"

We reported earlier this week how PCH, which is under Cwm Taf Healthboard, has been preparing for the Covid-19 pandemic along with the other hospitals in the area.

Production on the sixth series of the gripping police corruption drama has been paused while the coronavirus pandemic is taking hold of the country.
