BBC Death in Paradise's Sally Bretton returns to beloved role and fans are thrilled

Death in Paradise and Beyond Paradise fans have shared their delight as Sally Bretton has been spotted filming in Cornwall, which is where the spin-off is filmed.

The actress, who plays Humphrey Goodman's (played by Kris Marshall) fiancée, will reprise her role as cafe owner Martha Lloya. The series, which is expected to air next year, will also see the return of the beloved detective.

Fans have been sharing exciting updates on a Facebook page dedicated to the show, and in one of the most recent posts, Sally was seen smiling as she posed next to a fan.

The fan also shared some snaps of where the cast are filming for the upcoming series. The caption read: "Love meeting Sally this morning.

"Thank you for chatting for a few minutes. Such a lovely lady and made our day."

Fans rushed to the comment section to share their thoughts, with one writing: "That was really nice for you. She does look like a lovely person."

Another agreed: "How fab, she looks like a lovely person."

Someone else chipped in: "Best programme on TV."

Another post shows Kris Marshall posing for a picture with another fan. The actor beamed for the camera as he was dressed in his detective suit as Humphrey Goodman.

The caption read: "Met Kris while filming in Liskeard."

Series four of Beyond Paradise is expected to air early next year and will continue Martha and Humphrey's love story.

The end of series three was bittersweet for the beloved couple, and while they chose not to get married, they did continue with their fostering journey.

After taking in a young girl called Rosie, Martha and Humphrey bid a rather tearful goodbye as she was reunited with her mother.

Beyond Paradise and Death in Paradise is available to watch on BBC iPlayer.
