DEATH in Paradise has welcomed dozens of guest stars to its tropical shores since the show began in 2011.

Each episode of the BBC crime drama features a new guest star, and over the years a whole host of famous faces have flown out to Guadeloupe to film scenes with the cast, including a number of absolute hunks.

Death in Paradise has had its fair share of hunky guest stars across the last 1 series

Ahead of former Emmerdale actor Kelvin Fletcher’s arrival on the fictional island of Saint Marie, here are just some of the hunkiest actors who have headed to Paradise and left us hot under the collar.

However, he was soon found out by DI Neville Parker, leaving his career plans in tatters.

Matt Di Angelo

Matt Di Angelo played a grieving groom in series one

Way back in series one, former EastEnders actor Matt Di Angelo guest starred in the second episode, called Wicked Wedding Night.

His character, Darren Moore, discovers his bride, Lisa, has been murdered on their wedding day after being impaled in the stomach with a spear gun.

Thankfully, the grieving groom was innocent, with a hotel butler called William being revealed as the killer, having mistakenly murdering Lisa rather than his intended victim, a maid called Margaret.

Richard Blackwood

Richard Blackwood swapped Walford for Saint Marie in series eight
