Line of Duty's Vicky McClure said: "I want to thank the readers. It's a real honour and if it wasn't for the fans, there wouldn't be a show. It's really a beautiful family to be a part of."

While Martin Compston shared: "This has put a massive smile on my face. I'm chuffed to bits. I want to thank my fellow nominee Adrian Dunbar and my lovely wife for always holding the fort while I'm off playing cops and robbers.

"And to the fans - your support never fails to amaze me."

The series also bagged Best Drama with the show’s creator Jed Mercurio commenting alongside Vicky: “Everyone involved in Line Of Duty is absolutely thrilled to be recognised in this way by the viewers and readers of TVChoice, it means an enormous amount to us and we couldn’t be more grateful.”

He continued: “It wouldn’t be the show it is without the amazing performances of Vicky, Martin, Adrian and our brilliant guest leads including Kelly Macdonald for season 6 and all the other brilliant guest leads we’ve had. They’re the guys who actually do it on camera so it’s definitely a tribute to them. “
