The nation is eagerly awaiting the hotly-anticipated finale of Line Of Duty on Sunday, in which fans are hoping the identity of the elusive ‘H’ will finally be unveiled.
Yet away from the show, Martin Compston’s real life in Las Vegas is a million miles away from the gritty world of AC-12 as he swaps nicking bent coppers for a relaxing life in the sunshine.
The 36-year-old actor – who plays Steve Arnott in the hit BBC drama – relocated Stateside in 2019 with his American wife Tianna Flynn, their baby boy, and their pet pitbull King, where they snapped up a sprawling four-bed mansion in Nevada – which boasts a spa, and even a solar-heated swimming pool – for $420,000.

The couple, who married in 2016 at Mar Hall, Renfrewshire, live two streets away from Tianna’s mother, and they set up in Vegas to put down roots after previously living in Los Angeles and London.
Martin lives in Las Vegas because his wife Tianna is from there, and he recently said it makes sense, when he travels for work, for her to be near her family, especially after welcoming their first child last year.
He’s been quiet on social media about fatherhood. There have been no pictures of the baby and they have not revealed his name, because Martin would like his private life to stay private.
He told Weekend Magazine this month: ‘Being a new parent is exhilarating but tough, and it’s harder if you’re living it in the public eye. I don’t think I’m being overly private – everyone who needs to know my kid, knows him.’

Wow: Martin and Tianna were keen to buy a house with a pool, and they lucked out with their mansion as it boasts a spa, and even a solar-heated swimming pool
Martin and Tianna met in 2013 following the demise of his relationship with girlfriend of five years Stacey McKelvie.
As well as their mansion in Las Vegas, the couple also have a property in Greenock, Scotland, where Martin says he feels most at home in, though Tianna sees it the other way round.
He told Weekend Magazine: ‘We have a place in Greenock and a place in Vegas and, I’m going to sound like a p***k saying this, but I kind of see Greenock as home, and Vegas as a holiday home.’
Martin has previously spoken about how much he loves their swimming pool, telling The Sunday Post: ‘I love it. The weather is great, obviously, and compared to Los Angeles and London you get so much more for your money.
‘I’ve never been flash with anything. I’ve never really spent my money or liked fancy cars, so we saved to hopefully get a bit of a dream home.
‘I wanted to get a place with a pool. It’s an incredible feeling when you’re from Greenock and you can get your family over to stay and you’ve got a swimming pool out your back.’

They have often shared pictures while luxuriating in the pool, with their pooch King often joining them so that he can cool off in the water.

That’s not all the couple can enjoy outdoors as they also have a chic garden area, that has been well maintained and features a number of flora and a stone pathway.
