Who is Death In Paradise's new lead detective Don Gilet? Meet the former EastEnders star who made his breakout in Babyfather before starring in Doctor Who and 'finding love' with Happy Valley star
Don Gilet has been announced as the new lead in crime drama Death In Paradise as he steps up to the role as Detective Inspector Mervin Wilson.
The actor, 57, will make his debut in a feature-length Christmas special later this year, before a brand-new series in 2025 as his character arrives on the idyllic island of Saint Marie from London, and isn't overly pleased with his new surroundings. In 2014 the star joined Holby City as Consultant Anaesthetist Jesse Law and also played psychologist Blake Albrighton in TV series The Loch, with his now rumoured partner Siobhan Finneran. More recently Don has been romatically linked to Happy Valley star Siobhan Finneran, although the pair have never confirmed their relationship (pictured at the TV Choice Awards in February)
