The actor responded to the tweet and told the presenter that he feared there was a false death on him.
Ralf replied, “I’m not going to lie, I was just fired off the @deathinparadise where I had no sign, I saw that I had style and wondered if I had been reported dead.”
“I’m worried, ” replied the useless host.
Death In Paradise star replied, “I’d like to have the reach of an actor, but that might be a bit of an exaggeration.”
Ralf is a Twitter user, with 256,000 followers.
Last month, he said he was baffled because it looked like Laurence Fox had blocked him on Twitter.
Ralf said he had been blocked by the actor even though the couple had not had “interaction” on the microblog site.
He wrote: “It turns out Laurence Fox blocked me on Twitter, which is because I’ve never had a single interaction with Laurence Fox on Twitter.
