TRIGGER POINT STAR VICKY MCCLURE CONFIRMS FILMING HAS WRAPPED ON SEASON 2

Trigger Point star Vicky McClure has confirmed that filming has wrapped on season two of the ITV show.

McClure shared a post on Twitter with her followers to mark the end of filming: "Yes I am as tired as I look. Worth it though!! So bloody worth it!

"'Lana Washington, Expo 2' is WRAPPED!!," she continued, referencing the name of her bomb disposal officer character in the show, alongside a clapperboard emoji and smiley face.

"Trigger Point 2 crew & cast gave it EVERYTHING!! Thank You all so SO much!! Now go put ya feet up!!"

ITV renewed Trigger Point for a second series in February 2022, not long after the show's dramatic ending aired, revealing the identity of the bomber.

Huge audience figures were reported for Trigger Point season one, with the opening episode reaching an audience of over 11 million people. The show saw Line of Duty star Vicky McClure reunite with Jed Mercurio (also behind BBC hit Bodyguard).

With filming having just wrapped, there's no trailer or word on a release date for Trigger Point season two as yet.

McClure will be joined by numerous returning cast members including Happy Valley's Mark Stanley as DI Thom Youngblood, Unforgotten's Nabil Elouahabi as Hass, and Whitstable Pearl's Kerry Godliman as Sonya Reeves.

McClure's Washington and Stanley's Youngblood were together romantically at the start, but their relationship later fizzled, with Washington falling for Karl Maguire (played by Warren Brown).

In the season one finale, we saw DI Youngblood comforting Washington after Maguire was uncovered as the bomber and killed by the EXPO team. Could this be a hint that the two are set to rekindle their romance in season two?

McClure was proud to be a part of Trigger Point's first instalment, telling BT: "It was an incredible job and I'm really proud of it.

"It was a brilliant cast of people and the crew really did look after each other. It was a tough shoot and there were a lot of elements to get right, building a whole new world.

"I was massively invested in the show and I gave it my everything."

Trigger Point will return for a second series on ITV1 and ITVX. You can buy series 1 now on DVD and Blu-ray.
