If you're a fan of Line of Duty, ITVX has just served up a crime thriller you probably missed first time around.

The Ice Cream Girls first aired on ITV in 2013 and stars Martin Compston alongside Dune Prophecy's Jodhi May.

Based on the book by Dorothy Koomson, The Ice Cream Girls follows two former friends who are reunited 17 years after being accused of murdering their schoolteacher (Compston) as teenagers.

The series garnered praise from audiences when it first aired, with one viewer on IMDb describing it as "a terrific mystery", adding: "You will be entertained and gripped until the surprising conclusion."

All three episodes of the miniseries are now available on ITVX, meaning viewers in the UK can stream the show for free with ads.

The series synopsis reads: "What begins as a cathartic outlet quickly spirals into something far more dangerous, and as the group’s acts of revenge escalate from mischievous pranks to deadly 'accidents,' the line between justice and murder begins to blur."

Alongside Compston the series will also star Slow Horses' Aimée-Ffion Edwards, Barbie's Sharon Rooney, The Wheel of Time's Meera Syal, Shetland actor Douglas Henshall and Sex Education's Chaneil Kular.

The Ice Cream Girls is available to stream now on ITVX.
