Felicity Montagu, who plays Margo Martins in Beyond Paradise, has opened up about the future of the Death in Paradise spin-off when she appeared on Lorraine

Felicity Montagu, the star of Beyond Paradise, has given a succinct reply regarding the continuation of the Death in Paradise spin-off. Chatting with Lorraine Kelly about the possibility of further series, she said: “I don’t know.”

Portraying the much-loved Margo Martins in Beyond Paradise, which is set to return this Friday, Felicity was met with Lorraine’s enthusiasm about the show’s success: “Do you know what? You know when something is doing really well, and I’ve always said this about Death in Paradise, people are queuing up to have cameos in this.

“We have got some great people,” responded Felicity, as Lorraine interjected: “You have got some crackers coming up.”

The actress went on to say: “I have just watched episode one, and I can’t give away too many spoilers, but Hugh Dennis is great. The fact we got him was fantastic.

“A lovely performance from Angela Curran, who does a very moving, very touching performance, which is marvelous. And we’ve got Caroline Quentin, so we have some great people, we are really chuffed,” reports the Express.

When Lorraine asked if it was the third series and suggested there should be another, Felicity confirmed it was the third and reiterated about the show’s future: “I don’t know. We don’t know.”

Felicity then spoke highly of Tony Jordan, the show’s creator, stating: “The thing about Tony Jordan is he has such a hold on people’s characters.

“He was a market trader, he told me, and it is music to him. He got a break when somebody met him at the vegetable stall and said, ‘I think you can write, Tony’.”

This Friday, Humphrey Goodman, played by Kris Marshall, returns to tackle another puzzling case in Shipton Abbott.

The episode’s synopsis hints: “When a body is found in a river on the county border between Devon and Cornwall, Humphrey and Esther are forced to work alongside their Cornish counterparts.

“While their rivals are quick to brush off the death as a tragic accident, Humphrey’s instincts tell him there may be more lurking under the surface.

“Meanwhile, following the success of Ten Mile Kitchen, Martha decides to expand the business. However, just as everything seems settled, she and Humphrey are thrown an unexpected curveball.”

Lorraine airs weekdays at 9am on ITV.
