'Sadly embarrassed!' Ralf Little opens up on 'difficult decision' over disappointing news
Coronation Street, while Ralf had been filming over in tropical Guadeloupe as DI Neville Parker in Death In Paradise.However the podcast saw the pair reunite for the pub-style banter that had brought them both to fame.The consequent tour they'd planned, taking a live version of the podcast around Britain, had been eagerly awaited by fans - and Ralf confessed to fearing the public reaction when they discovered the original February dates had been scrapped."We [thought]: 'We hope people aren't going to be angry with us!'" Ralf recalled."[However] people have been really lovely actually."If people feel a little bit nervous about going out, we'd rather try and wait until they can come - especially if they've paid for the ticket but don't want to come out," he elaborated."We don't want them to spend their money on nothing!"Will agreed: "The whole point of doing the tour is to do more than what we do here!"Fortunately all restrictions associated with the virus have since been lifted, leaving Ralf and Will free to initiate audience participation when the shows start in April.Though Ralf has admitted: "It was a difficult decision to make", it looks as though it was the right one for the pair.There's been a lot for them to catch up on, with Will posting to his pal's Instagram account earlier in the year jokingly asking if he was filming a dog show after he revealed he'd adopted rescue puppies that had been abandoned in Guadeloupe.Ralf posted to Instagram yesterday to unveil the announcement for the latest series of the podcast - and appeared upbeat in spite of previous comments about hating the British weather.Having arrived back from his Caribbean filming sessions last Christmas, he has now announced: "WE'RE BACK IN THE PUB

Ralf Little admits concerns about having children 'keep him up at night'
Death In Paradise star admitted he's also concerned about the eco-implications."That’s the thing," he shrugged.And when asked whether he meant the damage children could do to the planet or the kind of world they’ll grow into, he replied: "The latter."Again, these are things that keep me up at night."He and Lindsey already live across the pond from each other, with their career demands combined with Covid restrictions, meaning FaceTime has become a very important part of their relationship.The 32-year-old American playwright is based between New York and Florida, and when Ralf is filming the BBC murder mystery series, he's on the idyllic island of Guadeloupe.But he's very cautious about his carbon footprint, and has looked into the viability of crossing the Atlantic by cargo ship.He confessed: "Would it make any real-world difference?"No, it wouldn’t. But it would show how seriously I’m taking this."Ralf has also just turned vegan, but previously noted that by changing his lifestyle in this way, it would only contribute to around a four percent reduction to his carbon footprint.And of course, he needs to factor in the new diet when he's working."Though when I’m back in Guadeloupe, I may have to make it pescatarian," he chuckled of the endless fishing opportunities in the hidden paradise.Back in September, Ralf shared an alarming article highlighting the climate issues we're heading towards.He sighed: "This is why I will keep talking about it despite the many unpleasant responses I get."Because there is nothing bigger than 'a code red for humanity'."Some say 'offer solutions'.

Death in Paradise's Ben Miller says working on Caribbean island is a 'weird way to live'
Death in Paradise star Ben Miller has opened up on what filming the popular BBC show on the remote island of Guadeloupe is really like.Speaking on Saturday Kitchen star Olly Smith's podcast, the actor, 55, spoke candidly about how he found living on an exotic Caribbean island for a year-and-a-half while filming the hit programme.The star, who plays DI Richard Poole on the popular whodunit show, reflected on his time in the exotic location.Ben said: "It was filmed on Guadeloupe in the French Caribbean and for a period of 18 months where I spent 12 of those months in the Caribbean on a really, really remote Caribbean island, which is just a weird way to live."The actor went on to gush over the island's pristine beaches, before admitting that it was "disconcerting" that they were always nearly empty.He went on: "And the first time I was there being on an island and being surrounded by the ocean we'd start to go down to these beaches and there'd be nobody on the beaches."You'd go swimming and it was slightly disconcerting - you'd think, 'why are they empty?'"It was incredibly warm and had baking heat down there on the beach and you think, where is everyone?" he added.However, the star claimed that the locals weren't down at the beach for one specific reason.Ben explained: "Well, what I discovered is that everyone's in the jungle high up in the rivers, because the higher you go on the island the cooler it gets."Not wanting to miss out, the BBC actor revealed that he spent time in the cooler parts of the exotic island on his next visit."The second time I went back I got more into the local knowledge and was going inland and into the jungle and finding these amazing rivers," he continued.Ben was replaced by actor Kris Marshall,

Ralf Little dismisses ‘horrible’ UK life after star bids farewell to Death in Paradise set
Death in Paradise star Ralf Little has relished the opportunity to work on location on the sunshine island of Guadeloupe, but some might say a little too much, as he ended up reluctant to arrive back home. He shared his disappointment after recently braving bitterly cold weather on British soil.Clearly substituting palm trees for Christmas trees amid dramatically shrinking temperatures was not for Ralf."It’s horrible!" he gasped, following his return trip to reunite with family over the Christmas period."I hate to say this, but I’m over it."Carols and turkey roast dinners did little to warm Ralf's spirits about being in the UK and instead, he reminisced about his working life in the sun.He confessed: "I’m from Manchester so grew up in the cold, wet and drizzle."I was back two days and was like, 'This sucks.'"I’ve been away for 18 months and not been cold!"He added to the Mirror of his winter ordeal: "As I was flying into Heathrow I looked out the window and as far as I could see, stretching out across the horizon, was thick cloud."Though his comments were partly made in jest, it's certainly true that Ralf understandably has a passion for the paradise island's climate.The average temperature in Guadeloupe in January is a scorching 29 degrees Celsius - a far cry from the UK's seven degrees Celsius.Despite suddenly losing three quarters of the heat level he'd become accustomed to, Ralf consoled himself with memories of his time filming.Dubbing his acting work on Death In Paradise the "best job on TV", he added: "Not just in terms of location, because Guadeloupe is wonderful.
