Death in Paradise season 12 has added three more names to its guest cast, including Barney Walsh in an as-yet-undisclosed role.
The television personality rose to fame by collaborating with his father, Doctor Who star Bradley Walsh, on the ITV travel series Breaking Dad and family drama The Larkins.
Now, he’s jetting out to the beautiful Caribbean islands of Guadeloupe, which double as the fictional Saint Marie, to film a guest role in the BBC’s long-running tropical murder mystery.
There’s no word yet on who exactly Walsh will be playing in the series, but he’s not the only new addition to the Death in Paradise cast to be announced this week.
