"I’ve read the script, I know, we’ve shot it, but I was on the edge of my seat! DiP has never done what’s it doing at the moment. It’s off the hook, it really is. You’re asking for crumbs but you need to sit and watch, honestly! Just wait and see, I can’t give you anything of that story, I don’t want to ruin it for you because when I saw it… we had a screening and they took us straight to episode seven and it’s powerful!"

Do you think Neville killed Cartwright? 

In episode seven, it looks like the team will have to rally to prove Neville’s innocence - that is if he is innocent! Taking to Twitter to discuss the episode, one person wrote: "I think that’s the best episode of death in paradise ever #deathinparadise," while another added: "That was a great cliffhanger @deathinparadise. It’s going to be a long week to find out what happens next.

"Congrats to the cast and crew for another great episode with the creepiest killer ever on the show." A third person joked: "Obsessed with how after THAT plot twist they play the absolute banger theme tune."
