Vicky McClure is one of television's biggest stars right now thanks to her role as DI Kate Fleming in Line of Duty.
Before taking the part in the hit BBC crime drama, 37-year-old Vicky starred in series such as This Is England, Five Daughters, and The Body Farm.
The Nottingham-born actress has, of course, been super busy filming various seasons of Line of Duty in recent years but she also likes to keep her fans up-to-date with her life offscreen as well.
Vicky has a very active Instagram page with 489,00 followers and often gives them a glimpse into her activities behind the scenes.
A familiar face on Vicky's grid is her fiancé Jonny Owen, who is a Welsh director.
The couple announced their engagement on 28 December 2017 and are certainly loved up, and celebrated their nine year anninversary in March.
Vicky uploaded a hilarious video of her sat in the passenger seat of a car as Jonny drove and she sang along to Cher's hit song Believe.
A few months earlier, Vicky gave fans a glimpse into her lockdown Christmas as she chilled on the sofa with Jonny whilst wearing a Santa Claus onesie.
Vicky also likes to share super cute selfies of her and Jonny, and couldn't resist sharing one when they were reunited after Vicky spent three months away from home filming season six of Line of Duty.
Another man who features on Vicky's Instagram frequently is her father Mick, whom she's very close to.
A recent snap saw the father and daughter duo enjoying a glass of fizz in November 2020 as Vicky wished her dad a happy birthday.
Vicky also has a great bond with her mother and also her sister Jenny.
On International Women's Day this year, the actress shared a selfie of the three of them and wrote alongside it: "Happy International Women’s Day! There are so many special & inspiring women in my life, from family to friends, colleagues to strangers.
"Got each other’s back all the way. These two have had my back from day one and I’ll always have theirs. Bloody lucky beyond belief. Xxx #mum #sister #sisterhood."
And on Mother's Day, Vicky shared another glowing selfie of her with her mum and gushed: "You truly are limited edition! Me & Jen are so lucky!! Thanks for showing us the way, and it’s true...you are always right!! Love you Mum (can’t wait to hug you) xxxxxx."
Vicky also loves reminiscing about the past and often shares throwback snaps of her and her older sibling.
In January she shared a cute pic of her and Jenny as youngsters after building a snowman together, and she also likes to share snaps of her two nephews too.
During lockdown last year, she told fans: "If I could be anywhere right now I’d be transported back to this day. Lazy walk around @wollatonhall with my nephews Xxx," alongside a snap of her and the two boys.
More recently, Vicky has been treating her followers to some never-before-seen shots from behind-the-scenes of Line of Duty.
One comical snap showed Vicky "deep in thought" as she relaxed in the back of a car in full police attire, and another was an epic throwback of her and actor Gregory Piper - who plays Ryan Pilkington.
Gregory, 23, first appeared in the show in season one as a teenager and returned for season six and got to film some pretty tense scenes alongside Vicky.
Vicky also seems to get on very well with another one of her co-stars, Kelly Macdonald, who plays DCI Joanne Davidson.
Ahead of the season six finale, Vicky shared a smiley selfie with Kelly as they prepared to film a car chase scene for episode six.
However, Vicky let fans in on a secret - stunt actors were used for the shots instead.
"It pains me to say (swipe across) that’s as far as we got!" she captioned the post.
"I was well up for the challenge but we did everything by the letter of the law! The letter!
"Amazing stunts & special effects team!! Thanks TV for making me look cool & taller! Now just one more week to go for the big finale!" she added.
Line of Duty season six concludes on Sunday at 9pm on BBC One.
