MARTIN Compston has confirmed he doesn’t die in the first ten minutes of new thriller The Rig – but swooning fans are more distracted by “hot” boiler suit look.
The 37-year-old took to Twitter today to reassure fans that he does last longer in his new Prime Video series than he did in BBC drama Vigil.
Line of Duty fans had been excited to see the actor from Greenock, Renfrewshire in new six-part series Vigil.
However, Compston’s character Craig Burke dies of what appears to be a cardiac arrest within the first eight minutes of the show.
Compston today confirmed on social media that he doesn’t die in the first ten minutes of The Rig while posting images of himself wearing a red boiler suit.
His fans were delighted by the news but even more chuffed over the prospect of Compston wearing a boiler suit throughout the series.
Compston tweeted today: “‘The Rig’ coming to @primevideouk.
“Can confirm I don’t die in first ten minutes, after that it’s every boiler suit for themselves.”
An image shows Compston in a tight-fitting red boiler suit.
The tweet now has over 6,500 likes, with hundreds of fans aproving of the new look.

@jeffiner1892 said: “There looks to be very little he doesn’t look good in” also with a winking face.
