Death in Paradise star Ralf Little's replacement announced as EastEnders villain

Death in Paradise has announced its new lead, with former EastEnders villain Don Gilet stepping into Ralf Little's shoes as the BBC show's frontman.

Off-screen, however, the 57 year old actor is over the moon about joining the cast, which features stalwarts like Don Warrington, Shantol Jackson, Ginny Holder, Elizabeth Bourgine, and Danny John-Jules.Gilet, a father himself, expressed his excitement with a chuckle: "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.

"We've got huge plans for the new series and beyond, and I can't wait for the audience to meet Mervin and to see what we've got in store." The Royle Family star succeeded Ben Miller, Kris Marshall, and Ardal O'Hanlon, becoming the longest-serving lead in the series. While speculation was rife with various names being suggested, many viewers thought a past detective or someone with ties to the show might take over.
