Death in Paradise fans have taken to Instagram to share their concern about what is going to happen to Ralf Little’s character DI Neville Parker after the star shared a very interesting Instagram video.
In the clip, the actor is having some fun with a member of the crew who had opened a packet of crisps upside-down, but it was Ralf’s location that had fans asking questions. The star was filming within the show’s jail set, leading viewers to wonder whether poor Neville would find himself in prison yet again in season 13.
One person wrote: "Why are you in the cell please?" While another added: "You’re in jail again?? I got so confused watching an old DIP yesterday and you were playing someone else, I had to rewind to check I wasn’t going mad!" A third person added: "What have you done now?"

In season 12, Neville was arrested and charged with murder, despite being innocent of the crime, after being set up by his girlfriend, Sophie, who was out for revenge. However, the detective managed to solve the case and exonerate himself - but was left shaken by the experience.

The show is set to return for seasons 13 and 14 as well as two Christmas specials, and Ralf has confirmed that he will be back for season 13, but has yet to confirm his involvement in season 14 just yet.

I will be playing Neville Parker again in series 13… From a purely legal contractual point of view, until all of those things are agreed you never know. I will be back and I am delighted. I can't wait to get started. We start filming in May. Let's do this."
Speaking about his contract being renewed, he explained: "Look, cards on the table, this happens every year and it doesn't mean anything. There's nothing to read into this either way. All of those talks and negotiations - not even negotiations, we aren't at that stage yet - it's not like you get signed on like a footballer, where you get signed a five-year contract or a three-year contract or whatever."
