DAVID Budd looks concerned while covered in blood in first-look pictures from the finale of BBC One drama Bodyguard.

Budd, played by Richard Madden, appears to be at the centre of the manhunt for the killer of Home Secretary Julia Montague, played by Keeley Hawes.

A teaser trailer for the political thriller’s final episode previously hinted that Budd, who was Montague’s protection officer and secret lover before she died in a bombing, will be arrested over the assassination.

The clip shows Budd while the stand-in Home Secretary Mike Travis (Vincent Franklin) says: “Look no further for Julia’s assassin.”

Another part of the trailer sees DS Louise Rayburn (Nina Toussaint-White) claiming that the person who planted the bomb was an “inside man”, another suggestion that Budd is in the firing line.

The finale of Bodyguard airs on Sunday September 23.
