Speaking on Instagram Stories, he said: “So I’ve had a few phone calls today and a few messages from friends and family, and even quite a few messages on social media from people excited about my debut on Death in Paradise this evening.
“I’m afraid I’m not on tonight. Still watch it, it starts tonight, 9 o’clock, BBC One, the new series of Death in Paradise.”
He added: “A great show, but my episode that I filmed isn’t until about another two or three weeks from now.
“So I’ll be in touch in the next couple of weeks to let you know when that’s on, but I’m not on this evening I’m afraid.”
Who does Kelvin play?
From what it appears, Kelvin has a jam-packed episode playing suave Gavin Jackson.
Troubles strikes for his character after his lottery winner wife, Cherry, is found dead at her luxurious villa.
No one was in the house when it happened, and if things weren’t complicated enough Cherry’s body seems to have vanished into thin air.
Confirming Kelvin’s appearance in the show, Death In Paradise previously tweeted: “#Emmerdale star and #Strictly sensation @kelvin_fletcher will be hotstepping it over to Saint Marie! #DeathInParadise.”
