Stephen Graham could be facing a ban from the FA after going on a foul-mouthed rant against a referee.
The Line Of Duty star is said to have hurled nasty insults at non-league referee David Kennedy at a match where his nephew was playing.
According to The Sun, Stephen's expletive-laden rant caused the game to be held up for eight minutes, with the referee refusing to continue until the actor left the touchline.

He reportedly called the referee a 'f***ing Teletubby' and a 'fat useless t**t' and also asked him if he had been bullied at school.
The 51-year-old later apologised for his rant after the local FA launched an investigation into his behaviour.
Witnesses to the outburst said Stephen - who was there to watch his nephew play for Barrow Town against Heather St John's Reserves last Saturday - snapped for no reason.
It’s also claimed he pulled the “don’t you know who I am” line.
“Google me, I'm on Netflix,” the actor reportedly snapped.
“His behaviour was absolutely disgusting. The referee was so horrified, along with everyone else,” a source for The Sun said.
“He, rightly, refused to continue with the match until Graham left. Eventually he agreed to go and sit in the bar so the game could continue.”
Not a good look for Stephen!
