Speaking about whether she was sorry she never got to work with the actor, she explained: "I actually don't know him - he's done so much with Red Dwarf and I think he's definitely that person on screen that people know. Although I didn't watch Death in Paradise religiously, I knew he was in it and I knew how popular he was. I am up for working with Danny John-Jules, absolutely!"

Speaking about being the new officer in the show, Shyko admitted that fans initially had a split reaction to Ruby. She said: "[It's] both exciting and completely overwhelming, it's been a time for firsts for so much - one of my first TV jobs - I have done a couple of things before but nothing on this level. That's been amazing but obviously I am taking over Dwayne. Basically, be a newbie stepping into that persona- it's been overwhelming and exciting at the same time… I think they really decided with bringing Ruby on they wanted something that might be considered a bit different… I think on my first week people were like, 'What? Who is this person? What is she doing here?' Definitely had a split audience, 'Do they like her, do they not like her,' but I think so many people said she was a breath of fresh air - she has solidified herself in the team." Death In Paradise season eight DVD is available to pre-order now from Amazon and is released next Monday 4th March.
