When asked whether he might appear in Kris Humphries' upcoming Death in Paradise spin-off, Miller said: "God I'd love to, is he really? That's so exciting, that's brilliant news!

"I'd love to, I mean it's Kris – don't forget your mates. It's exciting, really great, I wonder how that's going to work? Is he going to be on another Caribbean island? I look forward to that, that's really brilliant news."

The upcoming spin-off, titled Beyond Paradise, will see Marshall reprise his role of Humphrey Goodman, the detective who took over from DI Richard Poole on the island of Saint Marie.
