Line of Duty star Rochenda Sandall has 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.
