When asked why he turned down being a detective in a role before but he chose to do this one, the Doc Martin actor said: “I don’t really enjoy the [bleep] of the yard I call them, those generic TV things where he’s a florist and a cop.”

Holly and Phil burst into giggles.

Meanwhile, Martin said the series doesn’t show Grant’s horrific crimes just how the detectives “stop the [bleep]”.

Martin had also dropped the b-word during the interview and Phil apologised.

He said: “I haven’t apologised for each of the bits of bad language because obviously it would take up far too much time.

“So what I’m going to do is apologise for all three of them in one go.”

Martin then laughed and joked: “Like an ad. Sorry.”

Phil said: “Other swear words are available. God it’s good to have you back. We have missed you.”

At the end of the interview, Martin added: “Thank you very much and sorry…”
