Ralf Little is currently filming Death in Paradise season 13 - and has given some details on what we can expect from the upcoming series - particularly in regards to his character, DI Neville Parker.
Poor Neville has been very unlucky in love so far, with DI Florence Cassell not reciprocating his feelings, and his new flame Sophie turning out to be dating him in order to frame him for murder, eek!
Chatting on his Instagram Live Q&A, he revealed he couldn’t say reveal too much about the situation, but continued: "Obviously I can't give you any spoilers and tell you what's going on but everyone wants Neville to have a successful girlfriend, especially me, so fingers crossed it works out for him in season 13."
The star also opened up about his favourite thing to do on the show, saying: "I enjoy stunts! I’m always trying to persuade people to let me do my own stunts and they never do, because insurance is a pain… Because I’m a bit of an adrenaline junkie, I love to do it."

He said: "We just talked about football. It was all in French... we just had these chats that you’d have with your mate in the pub, and it was amazing because you figured out, 'Oh I don’t know how to say that, I'll say it this way.'"

I want to get my French in order, obviously [Neville] speaks English but it would be nice to speak French on the island. So I have to work on my French, and my physique!” It looks like he managed to nail it!
