Fresh from his exit in Death in Paradise, much-loved star Tahj Miles has landed a huge new rule in an upcoming BBC drama.
The 22 year old star is best known to fans for playing Officer Marlon Pryce in the Caribbean detective series, but in this new role, Tahj will be taking on a mysterious new character named Daniel in a production of Mr Loverman.

In the show, Tahj’s character is the grandson of Barrington and Carmel and will find himself embroiled in the secrecy and intrigue surrounding his grandfather’s illicit affair. Described as a "ground-breaking exploration of Britain’s older Caribbean community," by show bosses, Mr Loverman is a life-affirming story about family, love, and being true to yourself.
Ahead of it's release, Faye Ward, Executive Producer for Fable Pictures, said: “We are so excited to bring together this tremendous wealth of acting talent across the board. It’s a dream come true and we can’t wait for audiences to see Bernardine's story brought to life.” Boasting a star studded cast that includes Line of Duty and The Walking Dead star Lennie James, Olivier Award winner Sharon D.
Clarke and His Dark Materials actor Ariyon Bakare, the show promises to be a rollercoaster of emotions with fans sure to be hooked from episode one. The new high profile role marks the first for Tahj since he bowed out of Death in Paradise back in March, when his fan-favourite character was written out of the series and fled the island for pastures new.
