BARRY THE BOBBY
EASTENDERS legend Shaun Williamson has pinpointed the identity of Line Of Duty's H in a hilarious spoof video.
The former Barry Evans actor is seen playing a Line Of Duty-style interrogator, alongside racing presenter Matt Chapman, for the second instalment of their mini-series.

The Sun Online previously reported how, in the first of the Paddy Power episodes building up to Saturday's Grand National, footie ace Peter Crouch was hauled into the Anti Cowboy Tipster Squad offices.
He was grilled over his sub-par racing advice and forced to wear a badge saying "I give s**t racing tips."
Yet with the identity of Peter's boss unknown, the mystery of H - which is keeping fans guessing in Line Of Duty as one of the leading characters - has not been solved in either the spoof, or the real series, until now.
Shaun, dressed in a full police outfit, grilled ex West Ham boss Alan Curbishley about his role in the cowboy tipster drama.

The 63-year-old initially managed to pull the wool over the eyes of the interrogators, stating he had "fell off his skateboard" as a decoy, before putting former Stoke City gaffer Tony Pulis in the frame.
Yet Alan is forced to cooperate with the authorities after they hint they will disclose his Netflix viewing records - which are filled with 27 Emily In Paris viewings.
His willingness to do so sees him set free - and make his escape in a car with typically baseball-cap clad Tony - despite being the real culprit all along.
This means Shaun and Matt have let their man get away, leaving him free to issue crap racing tips to the masses once more.

A spokesman for said: "With the Grand National on Saturday, there’ll be no shortage of pretenders providing dodgy racing tips.
"So, it looks like we’ve got a problem on our hands with Alan Curbishley still on the loose.
"I have to give a shout out to Curbs for a stellar performance as ‘H’.
"With just a couple of promotions to his name as a manager, I reckon he’s far more likely to pick up an Oscar than another piece of footballing silverware."
