Ben Miller has opened up about whether he believes he could ever reprise his role as DI Richard Poole in the hit BBC show Death in Paradise . The actor, 58, left the show back in 2014 after he was dramatically written out . In an exclusive interview with Express Online, the actor admitted he would “absolutely” return after looking back on his happy memories with the cast and crew.
He shared: “Absolutely I would. I did go back as a ghost in series 10. With Camille.
They did like a 100th episode.” Reflecting on his cameo that aired earlier this year marking the huge milestone, Ben claimed it was “amazing”. “I did pop up, and I did get to go back.
It was amazing because it had been at least ten years since I had done the first episode,” he continued. Ben first filmed the popular crime series over fourteen years and claimed he hated living in Saint Marie during the first season. He called time on his role because he wanted to save his relationship with second wife Jessica Parker .
Ben found out in 2013 that he was to become a father and could not bear to be away from home for months at a time with a newborn. At the time he told us: "Two weeks after I arrived in the Caribbean, Jessica found out that she was pregnant.” "I've just got divorced and I've finally met somebody and now I'm on the other side of the world and we're having a baby.
” Ben continued that he knew he had to make a decision: “That's a proper curveball to be on the end of. So I knew what I had.
