Shyko arrived on our screens last year when she joined sun-drenched BBC smash hit, Death in Paradise. Although she had previously played a small role in acclaimed mini-series, A Very English Scandal, this was her big break.

Shyko was thrilled to get the role, as she and her family are huge fans of the series, which has been airing on BBC One since 2011.

Her character, Officer Ruby Patterson, was a novice, the niece of the Commissioner, who initially seemed much more interested in gossip than police work. However she has a heart of gold and has worked hard to impress.

She replaced Danny John Jules, who had been in the show since it began, playing Officer Dwayne Myers. When she started filming in Guadeloupe, Ardal O'Hanlon was playing the lead role, before Ralf Little took over.

Shyko describes herself as a "home cook" and is looking forward to bringing her recipes to the MasterChef kitchen.

Celebrity Masterchef starts on Wednesday July 1 at 9pm, and continues on Friday 3 July at 7.30pm and 8.30pm. To see what else is on, have a look at our TV Guide.
