"So when the call came I instantly called Rachel my wife and said I'm pretty sure we are going to be moving to Guadalupe for six months out of the year."
He added: "It was quickly made clear to me that I was going to be killed off but I was still over the moon. It's a beautiful, brilliant, funny and engaging show. It's so fun to do."
