ITV Trigger Point star Vicky McClure shares message to 'stressed' viewers as they point out Lana theme

Vicky McClure said what every Tigger Point viewer was thinking following episode two.

The new ITV thriller was back on screens on Sunday night as fans waited to see what happened after last week's cliffhanger.

Trigger Point viewers were soon made aware of the fate of explosives officer Joel Nutkins.

He was last seen noticing something suspicious in a van after thwarting a bomb plot at a block of high-rise flats.

As he began to tell residents just being let back into the area to get back and shouted to colleague Lana Washington to bring him the clippers he uses to cut wires in bombs, the van exploded.

Sadly, Joel, aka Nut, didn't make it and episode two saw Lana continuing with her job as the threats continued across the capital.

Once again, the final few minutes of Sunday's episode left viewers on the edge of their seats as Lana had less than two minutes to diffuse a nail bomb, which was hung on a door with someone chained up in the room it led to.

As the credits began to roll, Lana actress Vicky McClure took to social media with a message that was relatable to all Trigger Point viewers.

"Stressful init!!!" she shared alongside a snap of herself in character, with her hands behind her head.

Vicky added: "So glad you’re liking #triggerpoint means a lot to us all!"

And fans were soon agreeing with her.

"You can say that again," fan page @ mcclure_fans wrote.

@claudiaasiann echoed: "You can say that again mate."

"Stressful ain't the word!! Edge of the seat awesomeness," @ ruthy.baby.83 commented.

@kauigirlkg said: "Screamed at the box, when it cut off….. seriously."

"Seriously. I can't cope," @adoreweddingsni added.

Viewers have spotted a theme with Vicky's character Lana (ITV)

But that didn't stop Trigger Point viewers from pointing out an error made by Lana.

@Zookichomps tweeted: "Please be quiet - I need you to be quiet as there is a bomb that reacts to sound - PLEASE BE QUIET (shouting this right next to bag with bomb in it!! #triggerpoint."

"Lana telling the guy being held hostage to be quiet whilst SHOUTING made me stressed #TriggerPoint," @yas_jamilah said.

@charlie96318733 commented: "She’s telling the guy tied up to stop shouting and she’s like shouting like a banshee #TriggerPoint."

"Lana yelling at people to stay still or be quiet is becoming a theme #triggerpoint," @quandromache added.
