Death in Paradise star Ardal O’Hanlon has shared a career announcement as he shut down a return to his iconic TV role 30 years after it first aired.
During Thursday’s (February 27) episode of the ITV hit breakfast show Good Morning Britain, hosts Kate Garraway and Richard Madeley were joined by Ardal and the duo couldn’t help but mention the actor’s role on Father Ted.
The star, 59, took on the role as Father Dougal MacGuire 30 years ago and the show went on to gain a huge fanbase and is one of Britain’s best-ever sitcoms.
Kate asked: “It’s turning 30 in April and a lot of fans are very passionate about that. Does it feel like a long time and will you be reliving it or is it all in the past?”
It appears as though Ardal has no plans of returning to the role as he replied: “I hope this doesn’t disappoint Father Ted fans but the day we stopped filming is the day as a serious professional you just move on and don’t dwell on the past.”
