It comes as Kris expressed heartfelt praise for one of his co-stars. Jamie Bamber, who plays Martha Lloyd's (Sally Bretton) former flame Archie, initially departed Beyond Paradise at the end of series one after attempting to kiss the cafe owner.

However, Jamie made a comeback in season three, his character sparking an unexpected romance with Esther Williams, played by Zahra Ahmadi.

Kris was all praise for working with Jamie, saying: "Working with Jamie is fantastic. It's nice to have another actor of a similar age and experience on set, especially since we have both been in the industry since the 90s", reports .

He continued: "Although we didn't know each other well back then, we have a lot of mutual friends, and it's great to have someone around who shares that history. Jamie is a seasoned actor and a lovely person who brings a lot of fun to the set."

He revealed: "We get along really well, and it's always a pleasure working with him."

Despite Archie kissing Martha in series one, the actor admitted the detective "doesn't feel threatened" by his return. Kris continued: "He's always been a confident and emotionally strong person, and he's very secure in his relationship with Martha.

"In past series, his issues stemmed from Archie working so closely with Martha but this time, Humphrey isn't concerned. He's more bemused than anything else. He isn't losing sleep over it and is accepting of the situation."

Beyond Paradise is available to watch on BBC iPlayer.
