Is Kate Fleming dead on Line Of Duty?

Line Of Duty fans were left with the mother of all cliffhangers as hero cop DI Kate Fleming was locked in an armed stand-off with bent copper PC Ryan Pilkington.

Following a raid on a workshop used by criminals, Kate (Vicky McClure) was lured to wasteland, where she was confronted by baby-faced assassin Pilkington (Gregory Piper).

AC-12 had snapped him using a burner phone to tip off his mob pals about the raids.

The thrilling episode - aired on April 18, 2021 - ended with the sound of two shots being fired, leaving viewers wondering whether it was good cop or bad cop that had taken a bullet - or could both be dead?

One Reddit user claimed that show creators have been hinting at this with all the references to nights when she was late home, suggesting she was out doing criminal dealings.

Kate's departure from AC-12 in season six has only fuelled rumours further.
