More info Beyond Paradise enthusiasts have detected a clever homage to Death in Paradise's detective Neville Parker, Ralf Little's character, in the spin-off's latest episode. As the series gears up for its finale this Friday, fans are eager to see how the storyline surrounding characters Humphrey Goodman (Kris Marshall) and Martha Lloyd (Sally Bretton) will play out. The most recent instalment saw Detective Goodman embroiled in a challenging predicament during a skydiving episode. Initially, he was set to join Martha's mother, Anne (Barbara Flynn), who had to bow out last second due to a previous injury.

This mishap isn't new territory for Humphrey - in Beyond Paradise's first episode, he similarly found himself aloft, albeit from a tree that time, reports Devon Live. During this sequence, a sharp-eyed fan cited by the Express noticed a nod to former sleuth Neville Parker. A member of a Facebook fan group remarked, "Was it me or was there a little nod to Neville Parker and his utter fear of skydiving with Humphrey taking on the task?". Supporting this observation, another fan added, "Yes, partly that and partly just Humphrey being Humphrey. Remember the first time he met Esther? Stuck up that tree." One fan quipped: "Hanging off Tamar Bridge." Ralf Little, known for his role as Neville Parker in Death in Paradise, exited the show last year. His character was replaced by Don Gilet, who took on the role of the new DI, Mervin Wilson. Viewers will remember that Neville was a character plagued by fears and peculiar eating habits, only consuming chicken and chips. The fate of Beyond Paradise's third series is still up in the air, but the summary for the upcoming Friday episode reads: "When nurse Lucy vanishes on her way to work, suspicion falls on Josh Woods - Kelby's rival. "However, after Josh receives a chilling voicemail, the team starts to suspect that something far more sinister is at play. In the recording, Lucy can be heard shouting 'devil'' followed by a beastly growl. "Could the legend of the Devil's Hump hold a vital clue to solving her disappearance? As the case intensifies, Humphrey finds himself torn between the personal and professional. With Rosie's birthday fast approaching, he and Martha are determined to throw her the perfect party."

Olly Murs' wife gives blunt response as he's 'body shamed' for unveiling new look
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info Amelia, Olly Murs' wife, has strongly defended the 'Troublemaker' singer's incredible body transformation after some fans expressed a preference for his former "dad bod". The 40 year old former X Factor contestant recently flaunted his toned new look, which led some to declare he had kicked into "beast mode". Yet, not everyone was thrilled with Olly's transformation, as Amelia highlighted in her Instagram Stories. Her outrage was sparked by a negative reaction following Olly sharing an article containing before and after photos of himself, contrasting opinions on his physique, with headlines suggesting a preference for his "huggable dad bod". Firing back at the detractors, Amelia wrote: "Wow I didn't release body shaming was still a thing in 2025. And at this public level? ! My gosh could you IMAGINE if this headline belonged to a female. But no, my husband's got to just take this one on the chin."

She reassured him: "You're in such a great place mentally as well as physically so don't let this garbage rain on your parade.", reports the Mirror. The celebrity opened up in his own post, explaining that his fitness journey was driven by "many personal reasons" and he never intended to cause controversy. He did express gratitude for the kinder comments he received. Former Gogglebox favourite Scarlett Moffatt was among those offering encouragement, telling Olly: "Honestly you can't do right for doing wrong! ! You're healthy! ! Your happy! Sod anyone else x". Olly's impressive 12-week transformation has led him to become "super disciplined in every aspect of his life". When he first unveiled his revamped physique, he captioned the reveal: "Tour starts Thursday... I'm pumped," accompanied by a flexed bicep emoji and a face with a tongue sticking out. His post quickly attracted a flood of positive reactions. The transformation comes as Olly and Amelia prepare to welcome their second child. Sharing the delightful pregnancy update, Olly posted a touching black and white video on social media featuring himself, Amelia, and their one year old daughter Madison strolling down a path. He is seen lifting Madison onto his shoulders, revealing the message "Big Sis" on the back of her shirt. He captioned the heartwarming post: "We're so egg-cited to share this..... Another Baby Murs on the way." Amelia confirmed the joyful news by showing off a set of baby scans. This announcement arrived shortly after the couple celebrated Madison's first birthday, commemorating the event with a collection of adorable photos from the celebration.

Rita Ora shell-shocked as husband unmasked in Masked Singer shock semi-final twist
Rita Ora was left shell shocked during last night's Masked Singer US as her husband Taika Waititi was unmasked during a shock semi-final twist Rita Ora was left shell-shocked during the live semi-final of The Masked Singer US as she was surprised with a very familiar face during a shock unmasking. Last night, Coral, Boogie Woogie, Mad Scientist and Pearl were fighting it out for a spot in the live final. Coral or Boogie Woogie were left in the firing line as they waited to see which one wouldn't make it to the final - but they were joined by a new character, Lucky Duck - Rita's husband Taika Waititi. "I've been breaking into this competition all season long and I've decided to dust off this old lucky bell," Lucky Duck announced. "Because tonight, both of you…are safe! You are both going to the finale. Neither of you are getting unmasked tonight, so head backstage. You have a finale to prepare for," he said. In fact, it was Lucky Duck who would be unmasked. Getting into the competition, Lucky Duck shared a few clues about himself, but the judges were left flabbergasted. "I've been bringing luck since the beginning, and during my time here, I've left no stone unturned. But one mystery still remains: Who am I?" 'As good as I am, this detective-ing thing is only a hobby. I spend most of my time on massive movie sets. Yes, even bigger than The Hangover. There's not an Oscar I don't know," he said, as Rita exclaimed: "I need to know who this is, it's completely killing me!" Lucky Duck then impressed viewers with a choreographed dance to Queen's I Want to Break Free surrounded by backup dancers. The judges were desperate for the character to be unmasked - and Rita was given the shock of her life when the character was revealed to be her husband Taika Waititi. The Anywhere singer then went to hug her husband on stage, as he joked the only way he would get to see her was by appearing on the show. Taika and Rita tied the knot in a secret ceremony in LA in 2022. They planned the nuptials in just two weeks after Rita popped the question to the dad-of-two while on holiday in Palm Springs a few weeks earlier. Speaking of their big day, the happy couple revealed they kept the numbers small. 'There were about eight people there—just close friends and family, and parents on Zoom,' Hollywood film director Taika told Vogue magazine. He added: 'My daughters were there, and they made everything really fun and easy: I think just because we didn't have the pressure of having caterers and all of these things, you know, people turning up late, and all of the different moving parts.' "I felt really peaceful actually, it was almost like another day. We just all dressed up and got married," Rita concluded.
