Accompanying a snapshot of Josephine dressed as DC Geneviève 'Arch' Archambault from Saint-Pierre, alongside Allan Hawco, who portrays Sgt.

"Saint-Pierre delivers compelling police procedural drama, featuring a cast that includes French sensation Josephine Jobert as Arch, Canadian A-lister Allan Hawco as Fitz, and James Purefoy."
Josephine first graced Death in Paradise as Florence Cassell in 2015, before making her initial exit in 2019.
She made a comeback in the 10th and 11th series, and even surprised fans with an unexpected return in 2024 when her character emerged from witness protection.
In the end, the detective sailed off into the sunset with the show's longest-serving detective, Neville Parker, portrayed by Ralf Little.

Helen Flanagan slashes HUGE sum off asking price of six-bed mansion she shared with ex Scott Sinclair before split
The news comes as Helen confidently clapped back at mum-shamers HEL OF A DEAL Helen Flanagan slashes HUGE sum off asking price of six-bed mansion she shared with ex Scott Sinclair before split Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) ACTRESS Helen Flanagan has slashed more than £300,000 off the price of the house she shared with ex Scott Sinclair. The former Coronation Street star, 34, put the six-bedroom property on the market last month for £1.5million. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 2 Helen Flanagan has slashed more than £300,000 off the price of the house she shared with ex Scott Sinclair Credit: Instagram 2 Helen was with Bristol Rovers winger Scott for 13 years Credit: Instagram But the detached, 5,000sq ft home — where she lived with footballer Scott, 36, before their break-up in 2022 — is now on offer for £1,195,000. The couple, who have three children together, bought the property at Belmont, near Bolton, in June 2021 for £840,000. It has five reception rooms, six bathrooms and six bedrooms including two en-suites. The house is situated on the edge of moors and is said to have 'breathtaking views'. Helen, who was with Bristol Rovers winger Scott for 13 years, was photographed at Royal Ascot this week. In January, she received a six-month driving ban after her Audi Q7 was caught speeding twice in 16 days — at 42mph in a 30 zone then 51mph in a 40. She was also fined £2,000 at Wirral magistrates court. This week, Helen confidently clapped back at mum-shamers after being brutally trolled for posing in sexy lingerie. Just days after the 34-year-old actress posed in a sheer corset, thong, fishnet stockings and suspenders, the mum-of-three has now responded to haters who slammed her as "embarrassing." The newly-single and self-proclaimed 'sexy boss b**ch' found herself at the centre of a barrage of abuse from trolls, slamming her for sharing revealing pictures considering she's got three children.

Woman breaks down in tears at 'uncomfortable' sex party with boyfriend
A woman who asked her boyfriend for an open relationship has broken down in tears at a sex party on Channel 4's controversial new show. Tonight's latest instalment of Open House: The Great Sex Experiment sees newly married couple Sharmayne, 26, and Jamie, 29, from Essex push the boundaries in their relationship. The pair can be seen heading to their first social event to see whether they can find anyone suitable to join them in their open relationship. After speaking as a couple to some of the people in the Open House, the pair then split up and mingle individually. However, moments after Sharmayne sees Jamie flirting with other women, she grabs his arm and tells him that she wants to 'step out'. As the pair walk outside, drawing some suspicious looks from the other guests, Sharmayne tells Jamie: 'I just feel overwhelmed. It's just a bit much for me, the whole situation.' After Jamie replies: 'We're not obligated to do anything. This is our journey,' Sharmayne can be seen getting visibly upset before she says: 'I'm just uncomfortable.' Moments after, she begins to wipe away tears from her eyes as Jamie asks: 'Where do we go from here?' After Sharmayne says 'I don't know', she adds: 'I don't know if I'm going to be able to hold myself together now. 'I really don't want to do it. I just want to go home.' This comes after a man vomited after agreeing to let his partner sleep with another man on the show. Couple Tom and Lauren appeared on the new reality series on June 13 after agreeing to take things to another level in the bedroom after a candid discussion with non-monogamy expert Effy Blue. Afterwards, Lauren was seen reassuring Tom, adding to the camera that it was 'absolutely insane' to see him with the 'confidence' for them to have their individual fun before reuniting at the end of the night. The camera then panned to Tom rushing to the bathroom to vomit, telling Lauren it was 'going to be horrible' and that he felt 'absolutely petrified and sick' as she tried to comfort him. Following a strong reaction to the turn of events, Tom and Lauren took to social media to address viewers. On their shared Instagram story they answered a series of questions about threesomes in the bedroom. When asked if they would do a 'two male, one female' threesome, they replied: 'It's certainly something we would consider.' Another asked if they would 'play with' him and his wife and they explained: 'never say never' but they would 'want to build a connection first'. One fan asked what their 'first time' was like to which they said it was 'awkward and tense'. 'We were both nervous but learned a lot and loved it,' they added. More Trending To others they recommended swinging apps and confirmed they don't have any 'parties' in the schedule yet. 'What did you learn the most on the show,' one person asked, to which they said: 'Communication between the two of us, even the little things, and Tom learned to love the body he's in.' Open House is certainly not the first time Channel 4 has aired a provocative show, after their recent series Virgin Island, which left viewers gobsmacked and uncomfortable as 12 'adult virgins' were sent on a sex retreat.
