Death In Paradise star Ralf Little tipped to join BBC's Strictly Come Dancing
Ralf Little, the former Death In Paradise star, is being tipped by bookies with odds of 4/7 to grace the dance floor in the upcoming series of BBC One's Strictly Come Dancing.
Ralf, 44, surprised fans earlier this year when he left Death In Paradise after a four-year stint as DI Neville Parker, but he's now moving on to a new TV series alongside his Two Pints Of Lager And A Packet Of Crisps co-star, Will Mellor.
The duo will tackle a variety of challenges in each episode of 'Will And Ralf Should Know Better', as they navigate life in their forties.
The programme, set to air on the rebranded channel U+Dave, will see Will and Ralf exploring spirituality and confronting their fears of ageing while discovering the pitfalls of off-grid living.

They added: "They've got their joint podcast, but it will be nostalgic for 'Two Pints' fans to see them on telly."
The source also noted that the show would reintroduce the pair to those who now recognise Ralf more from Death In Paradise and Will from Strictly and Coronation Street.
Ralf expressed his excitement about reuniting with his old friend, stating: "I am thrilled to be working with Will again as it's always so much fun."
"This time we get to explore how we should be living in the modern world while educating ourselves, and having a laugh at the same time."

Former EastEnders star Don Gilet is replacing Ralf as the leading actor on Death in Paradise.
"Well, as of an hour ago on the Death in Paradise official social media, the news is out," Ralf shared earlier this year of Don's premiership. "I have actually known for a couple of weeks but obviously couldn't say anything.
"The new detective is the wonderful Don Gilet and I just want to say, from me to you Don, I hope you have the most wonderful time.
"It's the most magical experience and I hope you get everything out of it and wish you the best of luck. I'm absolutely sure you're going to be magnificent."

He told Lorraine Kelly at the time on the ITV show: "But just for the show and for my character Neville it just sort of felt like his story was finished and his journey deserved to be completed. He deserved a happy ending and it just felt right."
Ralf's replacement Don will be making his debut as Detective Inspector Mervin Wilson in the upcoming Christmas special before an all-new season airs on BBC One in 2025.
Death in Paradise episodes can be aired on BBC iPlayer.
