Josephine is returning to the show as Florence
Josephine previously revealed why she had decided to leave the show back in early 2019 on Twitter, saying: "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. I'm going to miss the show, I'm going to miss Toby and Ardal and Shyko and everyone so it's been a tough decision, but that's life."
Florence left St Marie following the death of her fiancé
Although it is not clear what convinced Josephine to return for season ten, BBC bosses have teased a romance storyline between Madeleine and the new detective, DI Neville Parker.

As she tries to understand his peculiarities, sparks are bound to fly… Neville soon realises he is existing in the Caribbean, rather than embracing life there.
