Meanwhile, Neville prepares to leave the island to go travelling, but will the return of his unrequited love Florence stop him? Eek! Here’s everything you need to know about the guest cast in Death in Paradise series 13 episode 7.
Death in Paradise series 13 episode 7 cast: Will Hislop stars as Barney Keats
Actor Will Hislop, 31, guest stars as Barney Keats in the penultimate episode of Death in Paradise series 13. And if you think the name sounds familiar, it is!
Will is the son of famous parents Ian Hislop – fiercely clever panelists on Have I Got News for You – and bestselling author Victoria Hislop. And Will is talented in his own right as an actor, stand-up comedian, and writer.
He’s been on TV screens ever since 2017 when he played a customer in the series Random Acts. Two years later, he played Raymond ‘Dre’ Dreyfuss in one episode of Doctors, and went on to play a banker in several episodes of Gangs of London.
Other notable roles include Maurice St Martin in Robson Green drama Grantchester, the Demon Rabbit in Black Death, Noah in PRU, and Sandy Beauchamp in Father Brown.
More recently, he’s played Lewis in Dreaming Whilst Black, and he played obnoxious TV presenter Toby in the Netflix drama One Day. You know, the ginormous git who took great joy in telling Dexter about his bad reviews!
After his appearance in Death in Paradise, Will’s next TV project is playing Greg in the John Hannah series This Time Next Year.
Emma Sidi portrays Amelia Templeton
Actress Emma Sidi, 33, joins the cast of Death in Paradise as Amelia Templeton. But she’s probably best known for her multiple comedic roles on TV.
American-born Emma is an English actress, comedian and writer for radio, stage and screen. She’s been on our TV screens for two decades, and is perhaps most famous for playing Diane in Curious Under the Stars, about a Welsh schoolteacher who moves back to the village where he grew up with his London girlfriend.
She also played Millipede in the mockumentary Pls Like, and Anne in King Gary. Other notable roles include Zoe in the brilliant comedy W1A, Sian in Climaxed, and Amy in Industry.
More recently, she’s starred as Kate in StarStruck, and Eleanor in Ghosts.
