The show's anniversary series has already announced plenty of surprises, including the return of Ben Miller and Sara Martins as DI Richard Poole and DS Camille Bordey respectively.
Ralf will be reprising his role as Neville Parker
Chatting about his return on Good Morning Britain back in December, Ben told presenters Alex Beresford and Charlotte Hawkins: "We're very lucky to have a great number of old fans of Death in Paradise and there's been a lot of speculation [from them]. The one I liked was that I'm coming back as a zombie!
"I thought he was gone for good [too], he was murdered in the show in season three, and he was stabbed in the heart with an ice-pick. No one was more surprised than me when a script-writer [told me]. It's very cleverly done, I have to say, it's beautifully done."
