Since Line Of Duty started in 2012, Vicky McClure has sported the same short signature hair style.

But it hasn’t always been that way for the star, who plays Detective Inspector Kate Fleming in the hit BBC drama which returned for its sixth series last night.

Pictures on her Instagram show the 37-year-old actress as a youngster with much longer hair than she has now.

One sees her as a girl with her hair over shoulder as she holds a rabbit, while in another she sits by a Christmas tree with hair down to her waist.

Recently show creator Jed Mercurio appeared to joke about her character’s unchanging hair, posting some set pictures on Twitter and writing: ‘Catch up on all Kate’s hairstyles through Series 1-5.’
