Richard was playing 'Only Connect' with his followers, and tweeted: "Ok, I have an 'Only Connect' sequence question for you. If the first answer is 'Ben Miller' what is fourth in the sequence?" The answer was Ralf Little, as he is the fourth main detective on Death in Paradise, but the quiz quickly put his name in the top trends of the United Kingdom.

The TV personality joked: "I like that we've accidentally made Ralf Little trend. Apologies @RalfLittle." Ralf replied: "Not going to lie, I just walked off the set of @deathinparadise where I had no signal, saw that I was trending, and wondered if I’d been reported as dead!"

"Neville soon realises he is existing in the Caribbean, rather than embracing life there. With Florence’s help, he determines to seize the day and finds himself starting to reveal some of his secrets – including of a romantic nature." She opened up about leaving the show back in January 2019, explaining: "I quit the show for personal and professional reasons - nothing dramatic I swear! Everything is fine it's just that I've been working on Death in Paradise for five years... I loved every minute of it."
