NAGA Munchetty put Death in Paradise's Ralf Little on the spot on today's BBC Breakfast when she demanded: "Are you saying I'm old?!"
Ralf, 44, was on the BBC show to discuss his new tour with his Two Pints podcast co-host, Will Mellor.
The two actors have known each other for years since starring in BBC comedy, Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps, and launched their podcast in 2021.

Ralf had played DI Neville Parker for four years, but he admitted: "You know, this last series was always going to be my last series.
"I talked with the BBC and Red Planet the production company and we all agreed."
