BBC Death in Paradise's Ralf Little shares exciting announcement and fans can't wait

Death in Paradise star Ralf Little has left fans delighted with an exciting announcement.

The DI Neville Parker actor starred in the beloved BBC crime drama from 2020 to 2024, before being succeeded by EastEnders icon Don Gilet.

Ralf is also known as Jonny Keogh in the first six series of Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps, starring alongside Sheridan Smith, Will Mellor and Natalie Casey.

And he has recently reunited with Strictly Come Dancing star Will for Will and Ralf Should Know Better, a series that sees the two friends "on a laughter-packed mission to discover what aspects of modern life they're getting right".

The first season saw the duo "put their physical and mental strength to the test", see if they could "give up creature comforts to live in harmony with nature", take on challenges including performing as strippers, and even a mud assault course and a day at a 'Man Camp'.

They've now revealed that season two is on its way, in an exciting Instagram announcement.

A teaser clip shows Ralf saying "We made it," to which Will quips: "I thought you meant we're still alive!"

"Barely, I'm 49 now! Honestly, you started to panic me," he adds as Ralf laughs. "When people die now, I look at their age and start to count how many years I've got left."

The second series will launch on U from Monday, September 29.

"Very excited for it!!" one fan declared.

Another wrote: "Can't wait for this on Monday!!!"

A third added: "Buzzing for season 2 the first was brilliant."

"Already on record," someone else said.

This comes after Will admitted he and Ralf were once "rivals for the limelight" and even fell out with each other a "few" times.

He told the Guardian: "Compared with Ralf, I am a lot more in touch with my emotions. But we work well together: Ralf is a lot calmer under stress, and I'm all over the place."

He continued: "I'm up and down and vocalise every single thing I see and think. I get angry quickly. Ralf can chill me out, and I can help him talk. Of course, over the years, we've fallen out.

"You can't be friends with somebody unless you've had a few rows. For a while, I think we were rivals for the limelight, fighting for attention, but not any more."

Will and Ralf Should Know Better returns to U on Monday, September 29
