Ralf replied: "No, it's not a permanent structure."

"Then it gets taken down, which is funny as it takes a lot of effort to put it up and take it down every year, but like I say, it's not a permanent structure."

The 43-year-old regularly updates his 176k followers with many behind-the-scenes photos and videos posts.

He previously revealed that one of the best perks of filming in the Caribbean, apart from the amazing hot weather, is the snacks, which included fresh coconuts.

Most recently, he teased what series 13, which is likely to air in January following the Christmas special, will be like.

He said: "More of the same, the stuff that we know and love. We're going to try and pick it up with the tone [from] at the end of last year," he said.

"We really tried to push the boat out with series 12. 

"Not just a mystery every week, solving the mystery and moving on, but in the course of a series really trying to find challenges for the main characters... 

"There's going to be more challenges [ahead] for the characters."

Death in Paradise and its spin-off, Beyond Paradise, are available on BBC One and stream on BBC iPlayer.
