Rishi joined the programme to play Vicar Alphy Kotteram following the exits of previous stars Tom Brittney and James Norton.
With a tenth series already in the works, Rishi has already been snapped on-set getting rather handsy with one of his brand new co-stars, Christie Russell-Brown.

Christie is new to the show and will be playing the character of Meg Gray and she certainly appeared to catch the eye of the dishy Vicar.

Rishi said: " He’s quite cheeky. He’s a 'glass half-full kind of guy,' as he describes himself. And I think he’s quite modern.
"He believes in marriage, but he’s not ready to get married.
"Before he gets married, he wants to have some fun and just be chill.
"He likes meeting women, so I think that’s probably something we’ll see as this series develops and in future seasons. He’s someone that uses his humour to get out of tricky situations as well."
