Martin Compston flaunts Sunday scran with pic of very Scottish 'breakfast'

Screen star Martin Compston has proved he's as Scottish as they come as he showed his fans a glimpse of his very Scottish fry-up.

The actor, who plays Detective Sergeant Steve Arnott in the hit BBC show, delighted fans with his Sunday scran, which featured Scottish classics.

He posted a pic of his breakfast on Twitter, captioned: "Sunday coming at ye."

The 36-year-old was tucking in to a roll and square sausage - before planning to wash the whole lot down with his beloved Irn-Bru.

One fan was so taken that Compston, who hails from Greenock, was staying true to his roots they said he was eating the "food of the gods."

But some fans joked he had let the side down by drinking Italian lager Peroni with the breakfast - saying he should have opted for Tennent's instead.

The picture showing off his feast was liked nearly 10,000 times and retweeted over 100 times, while attracting a flurry of comments.

One fan posted, "The cornerstone of any nutritious breakfast, love it.", and another said, "Omg this looks amazing.".

One said, "You're lost in Showbiz these days.....Peroni?!?!", prompting another to reply, "Should be a Tennant's surely?"

But not everyone was with them on the Tennent's suggestion, with one fan backing the actor for shunning the Glasgow-brewed beer.

They said: "As a Scot myself, I would also take a Peroni over a Tennents, their lager is bowfin."

The latest episode of Line of Duty airs tonight, and Compston, 36, has promised it will be "a classic."
