Speaking about why he left the show after two series, Ben previously told Digital Spy: "Two weeks after I arrived in the Caribbean, Jessica found out that she was pregnant. I've just got divorced and I've finally met somebody and now I'm on the other side of the world and we're having a baby. That's a proper curveball to be on the end of. So I knew what I had to do to get my wife back – quit Death in Paradise!"
Hugo Speer was St Marie's original detective
DI Richard Poole was killed off in the season three opening episode after being murdered at a school reunion. Speaking about his death scene back in 2016, he said: "On balance, I think it was the right decision. It was a difficult thing to go through, it was a hard thing to see a character you love killed. And in a particularly brutal fashion!"
He continued: "Not that anyone in Death in Paradise dies in a gentle way, they're always quite extreme!"
