Kris Marshall caused controversy and upset viewers when he revealed why he decided to leave Death in Paradise after four years as Detective Inspector Humphrey Goodman
Kris Marshall left Death In Paradise fans devastated in 2017 when he stepped down from the role of DI Humphrey Goodman after three years.
He told Lorraine on Good Morning Britain: "The thing is, after doing four great years on Guadeloupe, the island where we filmed Death in Paradise, I realised that I really had to get my son to school. He was becoming a bit too Caribbean, he refused to wear shoes and would only drink coconut water and eat pineapple.
According to Metro, Kris' comments did not go down too well with viewers, with many of them taking to X, which was known as Twitter at the time. One wrote: "Did #krismarshall just say his son was becoming too Caribbean and then just reel off a bunch of stereotypes about eating pineapple and not wearing shoes?"
He apologised for his comments in 2021, telling Hello! in a statement: "In an interview I did last year, I attempted to convey how much my family and I loved our time during the four wonderful years we made our home on Guadeloupe, and how hard it was for us all to return to Britain.
