Line of Duty star Rochenda Sandall has (hilariously) revealed she and Stephen Graham got food poisoning from a prawn curry during filming for the current hit BBC drama.

Rochenda, who plays Lisa McQueen, a member of the OCG, said herself and Stephen, aka John Corbett, had to nearly stop filming because they both turned 'pasty and sweaty'.

Appearing on ITV's This Morning, she said: "It was a night shoot and we'd all had the prawn curry at lunch. We all started to go a bit pasty and a bit sweaty. I said to Stephen. "Are you alright mate?" and he was like, "No. I feel a bit rough".

Laughing, she added: "I went what did you have for dinner?" and he went, "The prawn curry". It was like a domino effect between all the cast and crew!".

Rochenda said it was similar to the most ICONIC scene out of Bridesmaids where the main characters are hit by a severe case of food poisoning.

The scene they were filming at the time aired in one of the earlier episodes when McQueen and Corbett were talking to 'H' through a laptop.
