Kris explained: "We had a different one every year. The first one was dengue fever, the second was chikungunya, the third was Zika and the fourth was I don't know... plagues, locusts. It mainly hit the crew actually. Weirdly, the actors weren't that badly affected... maybe because they were sleeping on the beach and we were in Sedan chairs."
However, the illnesses didn't stop him from having fond memories of his time on the show, as he added: "It was amazing. I had four brilliant years, my kids were very young."
Kris opened up about the show
Kris previously opened up about why he decided to quit the show, telling Radio Times: "Every year except last year we took Thomas out with us. The only reason they didn't come out last year was because my daughter was born and she was only three months old when filming started.

"Thomas has basically spent half his life in the Caribbean. Every year he went to the same nursery in Guadeloupe. But now it's time for him to put on scholastic shackles and toe the line."

Tobi Bakare, who left the show in 2021, also previously opened up about how he would feel about Kris potentially returning to the series, telling HELLO!: "The show evolves and because it evolves it just has to do what it has to do.
