Death in Paradise star Danny John-Jules, who plays Officer Dwayne Myers, opened up about the annoying habit he has which often leaves his co-stars in a mood with him.

During the Christmas special Don Gilet will make his debut on the BBC drama for its Christmas Special as Detective Inspector Mervin Wilson.

Viewers of the BBC crime drama said goodbye to long-running DI Neville Parker (played by Ralf Little), with the character being involved in the series for five years.

Earlier this year, Gilet was announced as the new lead actor and said of his role: “Being offered the new lead role in Death in Paradise feels like a deeply loved and incredibly precious jewel has been placed in my hands.

"This is a big show, with a big heart and the love continually grows for it. It is my intention to never lose sight of that and to remain grateful, humbled and dedicated.

"Even during those testing times when every sinew is screaming at me to run off the set and dive into the sea, swimming pool or an ice-cold beer – whichever happens to be closer at the time!"

However, whilst fans are excited to see Gilet take on the role and solve the mysteries of the Isle of Saint Marie, many are also looking forward to the return of Jules and his role as Dwayne Myers.
