Viewers flocked to the comments area to express their opinions, with one penning: "That was really nice for you. She does look like a lovely person."

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

A third person added: "Best programme on TV."

A separate post features Kris Marshall striking a pose with another supporter. The performer grinned broadly for the lens whilst wearing his detective attire as Humphrey Goodman.

The fourth series of Beyond Paradise is anticipated to premiere early next year and will advance Martha and Humphrey's romantic storyline.
