Who is the Murder Island cast?
Eight members of the public will be going head to head to reveal all of the details related to the murder and the identity of the murderer themselves.
Andrew and Nick
Firstly, Andrew and Nick are the overconfident duo as Andrew’s father and grandfather were both detectives.
He said: “Genetics would suggest it was in my blood.”
Caroline and Chrissie
The next dynamic duo is mature ladies, Caroline and Chrissie, and they are both banking on being the underdogs.
They draw comparisons between themselves and Miss Marple – suggesting that they should not be underestimated.
Richmond and Sarah
Next, Richmond and Sarah seem by far the best-equipped pair.
They are both unthreatening yet beady-eyed with Sarah having even studied Criminology.
Dot and Rox
Lastly is London party girls, Dot and Rox who could be considered the most fun.
Upon arrival, they excitedly squeal: “Wow, look at the cows!”
Tony, Jean, Hamish and the others are all actors, adding an interesting dynamic to the police interviews.
Shifty Alicia works for the developers and was actually the one who found the body. Lastly, Freddy, an incomer from Glasgow, has a suspicious-looking bandage on his wrist.
