WATCH: Death in Paradise star Ralf Little opens up about 'extremely painful' family revelation
Ralf Little
Ralf is Death in Paradise's current detective. When he's not busy filming in Guadeloupe, he can be found at home with his wife-to-be Lindsey Ferrentino. The actor recently opened up about their plans to tie the knot being on hold due to coronavirus restrictions.
He told The One Show in January: "Well they're pretty much on hold. She couldn't even come out to the island this time. That was an idea she had, 'Why don't we get married out here?' I was like, 'Because I'm busy trying to film a TV show where I'm in every scene.'"
