Death in Paradise star debunks spoiler rumours in behind-the-scenes video
Fans feared the worst when they thought they spotted Neville back in jail.
Ralf Little has shot down rumours that his Death in Paradise character DI Neville Parker will end up in jail again during the upcoming 13th season of the hit murder mystery programme.
Some fans feared the worst when Little posted a behind-the-scenes clip on social media earlier this month in which he appeared to be in a prison cell, following his previous arrest in a season 12 two-parter.
But the actor has now cleared up any doubts in a new Instagram video, which he captioned: "It's time we addressed the jail cell rumors!"

"So I need to clear up a little Death in Paradise mystery," he began. "After I posted a video the other day, there was a lot of speculation saying 'Why is Neville in a cell? Why? Could this be a spoiler?'"
He continued: "Let me explain, this is where the cast normally sits" – before panning to an area that showed various cast and crew members and equipment.
"We sit here between scenes," he went on. "We've got fans to try and keep us cool and stop us sweating so make-up doesn't have a terrible time."

He then walked through to the next room, which turned out to be the police station, before moving into the adjoining cells.
"Now a couple of years ago, I realised that in the cells, it's right next to the station where we actually shoot and it's much cooler, and there's a bed!
"Honestly it's a little bit... I don't know what lives in it, but when we shoot in the police station this is my little spot."
Pointing out a collection of items he kept in the cell – including some empty crisp packets and a fan – he added: "So no mystery, no spoilers, I'm just lazy and this is where I hang out in between takes!"
