Death in Paradise star Don Gilet has revealed a bizarre hobby that left TV hosts stunned. The actor, who plays DI Mervin Wilson, admitted he enjoys trimming his beard with a pair of scissors during interviews, much to the surprise of presenters.
Gilet, who joined the BBC drama last year, said the habit helps him relax. 'I find it quite therapeutic,' he explained. 'It's just something I do without thinking.' The revelation came during a chat show appearance where he demonstrated his technique.
The actor's co-stars have also noticed his unusual pastime. Shantol Jackson, who plays DS Naomi Thomas, joked: 'He's always at it. We've learned to just let him get on with it.'
Fans of the show will see Gilet's character navigate new challenges in the upcoming series, including a strained relationship with his half-brother Solomon. The new episodes air on BBC One from 30 January.
