DEATH in Paradise’s latest star Don Gilet has opened up on his origins with the BBC drama after signing up to play the leading role.

The former EastEnders actor made his debut in the show during the Christmas special but now he is back as the full-time leading detective, DI Mervin Wilson.

But before Don bagged the leading role, he had headed to Saint Marie in a forgotten role alongside lead show star Kris Marshall.

Speaking about his previous show cameo, he admitted he thought he’d never play the main man of the show.

Don said: “It was a long time ago now, but I certainly remember enjoying it!

“I remember thinking I’m here just playing the
villain.

“I’ll never have to play that character who speaks for seven pages nonstop.

“Cut to now, and I’m now playing the character who speaks for seven pages nonstop…”

Ahead of his first day in the role, Don admitted he was both “excited and terrified” to be returning full-time.

The actor said: “I’m sure it won’t be a surprise to say that it was both exciting and terrifying in equal measure.

“I liken it to one of those scary rides at a theme park. I’m going on it, and I know it’s going to be scary, but I’m going to do it.

“You’re daring yourself. Then you sit in the seat going, “What have I just let myself in for?!”

“But it was exciting because I knew I was embarking on this new journey.”

But despite filming in the sunny climates of Guadeloupe, Don admitted he was all about work and less about play when it came to his stint on the island.

Don said: “I did get recommendations for some nice restaurants as well as places to go and visit from the cast.

“They wanted to take me out, but I really wanted to knuckle down while we were filming so I could look back and say that I put all my energy into this role.

“We’ve spent so much time together and there’s such a beautiful, warm bond between us.”

RYANAIR passengers soon won’t get caught out with a strict £55 when getting to the airport.

The budget airline announced last year that they planned to phase out printed boarding passes.

Ryanair passengers soon won’t have to pay a £55 fee for forgetting to print their boarding pass[/caption]

Currently, passengers who fail to check in online and have to get their boarding pass at the desk has to pay a £55 fee.

Some families have been left hundreds of pounds out of pocket when forgetting to do this.

However, Ryanair boss Michael O’Leary said last year that he was wanted to scrap all printed passes in favour of mobile boarding passes by May.

He said: “Our goal is to eliminate check-in desks at the airport, just like we’ve done with luggage counters.

“Everything will be managed through the app, making the process fully digital and eliminating paper entirely.”

“I’m one of the last remaining people still showing up with my piece of paper.

“It also means, once we get everybody onto the app, nobody will ever again pay for a boarding pass at an airport – the airport check in fee will be gone. 

“So, I think it will be a smoother, easier journey for everybody.” 

While this means no more £55 fees, passengers will need to make sure their phone has enough battery.

Anyone with a dead battery may find themselves struggling to get through security.

Despite this, O’Leary said passengers will still be able to board if their phone dies when they get to the gate.

He told the Telegraph: “If your battery dies, we have your seat and your passport and we can do that at the boarding gates at the moment.”

There are a number of destinations that Brits will still need to print their boarding pass for, however.

Airports in Morocco require a physical copy, due to additional checks at security, as do ones in Turkey, excluding Dalaman.

And Tirana Airport in Albania also cannot accept mobile boarding passes.

Sun Travel has contacted Ryanair for clarification regarding mobile passes for these destinations.

Some travel experts have said that other airlines could ditch boarding passes altogether.

Start-up airline Riyadh Air’s chief executive Tony Douglas said mobile boarding passes could even be a thing of the past by 2030.

This would be replaced with biometric checks such as fingerprint and iris scans.

Here’s the seat number you never want to see on your boarding pass.

And why having SSSS on your pass might delay you at security.

A COUPLE have opened up on getting constantly stared and shouted at in the street as a result of their height difference. 

After years of dating men, Lizzy Jade Groombridge, who is known online as Lizzy Long Legs, has now ditched ‘short Kings’ for her ‘short Queen’ – her new girlfriend, Candie Dixon.

But since getting together, with Lizzy standing at 6ft 3″ tall and Candie a significantly shorter 4ft 9″, the pair’s height difference often attracts unwanted attention.

The women, who live in Cornwall, UK, first met in Costa Coffee after speaking on social media, and started off as best mates. 

But they soon realised there was something more and now they’re happily in love.

Revealing all to Truly, on an episode of Love Don’t Judge, the women opened up on the judgement they regularly face. 

Lizzy confessed: “People tend to glare, whisper amongst themselves.”

To which Candie explained: “I’m holding hands with someone who is so much taller than me. And I kind of get nervous sometimes because I think, do they think that I’m your daughter because of the height?” 

Not only is Lizzy shouted at in public, called a ‘Green Giant’ by haters, and forced to tell people ‘she’s not my child’, but she even has her height tattooed on her hand in an attempt to stop people asking how tall she is. 

But it appeared that content creator Candie may struggle with the comments slightly more than Lizzy, as she revealed: “I’m getting a bit fed up of the comments online.

“Every time we go out, people stare at us. It’s really frustrating.”

Agreeing, Lizzy added: “I think it’s a projection of men’s insecurities over a woman being so much taller.

“That can emasculate them and make them feel insecure so they project that.

“We often get stared at but we don’t care. It doesn’t matter what they think.” 

Lizzy explained that she thinks the trolls have their “own issues they need to work on” and should “stop projecting” on others.

As a result, she’s on a mission not to let them get her down, as she beamed: “It doesn’t stop me. I still wear heels.

Every time we go out, people stare at us. It’s really frustrating

Candie

“Now, I’m comfortable in who I am.”

Despite receiving judgement from haters on a regular basis, YouTube users were keen to support Lizzie and Candie, and eagerly flocked to the comments to praise their relationship. 

One person said: “I adore their style against trolls & haters! YOU GO GIRLS!

Another added: “You both seem happy and that’s all that matters.” 

A third commented: “If the two girls have that strong bond and care for each other that’s all that matters.” 

A PLAYER in the Turkish top division was sent off for slapping his own teammate this weekend.

Kayserispor’s Stephane Bahoken was shown a red card just 23 minutes into his side’s clash against fellow Super Lig side Sivasspor.

Bahoken, 32, was clearly frustrated after Kayserispor had fallen 2-0 down just 10 minutes into the game.

And the Cameroon international lost it when confronting teammate Miguel Cardoso for giving away a free kick in a dangerous position.

After getting in the face of Cardoso he then pushed him before slapping him across the cheek.

Despite the altercation happening between two teammates, the referee had no choice but to reach into his pocket and dismiss Bahoken for violent conduct.

His dismissal came with over an hour left to play and left his side facing an uphill battle to say the least.

Kayserispor were unable to turn the match around and wound up losing the game 5-2.

And things weren’t made any easier when teammate Joseph Attamah was sent off for two yellow card offences later in the game.

Fans reacted to the unbelievable moment on social media.

One wrote: “Should be fined and be banned from playing a few games by his club. How could you slap your teammate, it baffles me?!

While another added: “Friendly fire”.

A third commented: “Look at this nonsense. Worst league in the world.”

And a fourth joked: “This makes the Bower and Dyer look like a boxing main event”.

It’s not the first time that teammates have had a barney in the middle of the pitch.

Famously Lee Bowyer and Kieron Dyer got physical back in 2005 when on the books at Newcastle.

Both players were sent off that day with the fight spilling over into the changing room after their dismissals.

More recently players have had verbal bust-ups on the pitch that have made headlines.

Arsenal duo Ben White and Oleksandr Zinchenko both lost their cool last season against Nottingham Forest.

While Chelsea players Noni Madueke and Nicolas Jackson got on Cole Palmer’s case over who should take a penalty during the Blues’ 6-0 win over Everton last season.

And Manchester United pair Amad Diallo and Rasmus Hojlund were involved in a furious row after their Europa League clash against Victoria Plzen this season.

Maura – who is dating Towie legend Pete – is known for her daring style, and her latest pictures didn’t disappoint.

The model looked incredible in her sheer bra that left very little to the imagination.

The stunning photos revealed she had her left nipple pierced.

The intimate jewellery could be seen peeking through the sheer top.

The new snaps come as Maura once again faced a grilling over her relationship with Pete.

Last week, she faced an awkward moment on Loose Women when she was questioned over the status of their relationship.

The pair have been keen to keep their relationship a secret and have only given fans small snippets of information.

But in a recent interview on Loose Women, panellist Frankie Bridge wasted no time in asking her about her relationship with Pete.

After Frankie said that they made a good couple, Maura coyly replied: “Do we really? I never really thought about it.”

Going on, she said: “Not really much to tell, we spend time together, get on really well, and he is a great person.

“But there is nothing to tell.”

Meanwhile, in another recent interview Maura was asked whether she has a “terrible taste in men,”, and the Love Island star replied: “Yes.”

She went on to say “it would be lovely” to be in love, as she opened up to The Times about her dating life.

Maura continued to say she’s “happy now,” when asked whether or not she’s in love.

And on the topic of Pete, Maura shared: “I don’t feel like I need a man. But I’ll date, and I’ll see where something goes, and if it happens, it happens.”

It comes after Pete did an interview with The Times himself, and revealed why he has never been in a long term romance.

He said: “[Settling down] is the bit I just can’t do.

“The minute a relationship gets to the point where I seem to be having an impact on someone’s life, it scares the shit out of me.”

Speaking about past relationships, Pete added: “Yeah. Over the years, people have tried to understand me, but if you don’t understand yourself, it’s very difficult for anyone else to understand you.”

Meanwhile, the couple have been enjoying a string of cosy dates and trips away.

Maura recently posted from the exclusive Sheesh restaurant in Chigwell, a known date spot for the Towie cast.

This was followed by a trip to the Soho Farmhouse in Oxfordshire, where rooms start from £295 per night as well as an annual membership of £2,750.

I’m a Celebrity star Maura and Pete also shared a glimpse inside their last holiday, a £243 a night lakehouse break.

The reality TV couple jetted to Maura’s native Ireland for the festive period and stayed at the Glasson Lakehouse Spa & Golf Club.
