Top Gear viewers were in stitches as actress Vicky McClure turned the air blue during a stint on the racetrack.
The Line Of Duty star struggled to control her potty mouth as she whizzed around the Dunsfold circuit as she worked on her skills ahead of the Star In A Reasonably Fast Car segment of the motoring programme.

“What would Supt Ted Hastings say?” joked another, referring to the Line Of Duty character.
However, McClure’s expletives did not get in the way of her driving, and she completed her lap in a more than respectable 1:45.3.
