Line of Duty actor Daniel Mays visits North Norfolk coastal fish and chip shop

Anorth Norfolk fish and chip shop had a brush with celebrity when it received a visit from actor Daniel Mays.

Mays starred in Series 3 of BBC drama Line of Duty as Sergeant Danny Waldron, an armed response officer whose troubled and abusive childhood comes under investigation as part of wider investigation of police corruption throughout the serial. He was nominated for a BAFTA Television Award for Supporting Actor for his role. He also starred as lead investigator Detective Chief Inspector Peter Jay in the three-part television drama miniseries Des, about the 1983 arrest of Scottish serial killer Dennis Nilsen.

Platten’s Fish and Chip shop in Wells was visited by Mays and his family during a staycation in the county. Jonah Goswell was working at the time and said the actor, who has also starred in the film 1917, ordered scampi and chips. The 16-year-old said: “They just sat there like a normal family eating their fish and chips.

“We didn’t want to bother them too much, but once they had finished, I went and got a photo with him. I just spoke about Line of Duty asked him about his career. He was really nice. They said they really enjoyed their food.”

Mays also revealed on his Instagram that he had been staying at The Harper Hotel in Langham.

He wrote: “Thank you to all the wonderful staff The Harper Hotel for an unforgettable few days.
