Ralf Little's 8-word remark after leaving Death In Paradise for new project with Will Mellor
Ralf Little and Will Mellor were on the This Morning sofa on Tuesday's episode to discuss their new project together.
The two actors, aged 44 and 48, who first worked together back in 2001 on Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps, have reunited for new series Will & Ralf Should Know Better.
Airing on U&Dave, the reality series sees Ralf and Will on a mission to discover what aspects of modern life they've been missing out on as they travel across the UK to take part in unique experiences.
Appearing on Tuesday's This Morning, Will said of the new series: "We wanted to do something like this for a long time and it's about timing, when we're both available, as we obviously do different things!"

This prompted Ralf to joke: "We're both very successful, we're both very busy! What are you talking about?" pointing out in a hilarious eight-word response that most of the time "we're sitting at home hoping for a job".
He hilariously added: "We begged them [to let us do the series], we said we'd pay them to let us do it!" Teasing the series, Will said: "So we go around the country and find ourselves in situations we wouldn't normally be in!
"It's called Will & Ralf Should Know Better and it's about what we can learn, how we cope with the situation we're in. It's about us testing ourselves at this middle age now."
It comes as Ralf departed his role as Neville Parker in Death In Paradise earlier this year. The detective decided he needed to go travelling and explore the world.
The hit BBC One show aired its series 13 finale back in March and following the emotional exit, the show's official Instagram account shared a video of actor Ralf confirming his exit and teasing the show's future.
In the video, captioned "What can we say? @ralf.little, thanks so much for bringing Neville to life for us, we’ve loved watching every minute. #DeathInParadise", Ralf says: "So, there you have it! The secret's out! My time on Saint Marie has come to an end. But, what an end!
"New adventures await Neville and he got to sail off into the sunset with his best friend, and, you know, who knows what happens for them next! I just want to say, just an enormous thank you to everyone who watched and supported the show."
He added: "What next for the show? Well, I couldn't even tell you if I did know but I don't! I don't know! But what I do know is that the team that makes it, the producers, the writers, directors, all the crew, guest cast and of course my absolutely magnificent co-stars.
"They know what they're doing and the future is in good hands! So I'll be watching series 14 along with you guys with the same excitement you all will. I can't wait to see what happens next!"
This Morning continues on weekdays at 10am on both ITV and ITV X.
