Original child stars resurface on TV

Benidorm, the popular sitcom that first aired almost twenty years ago, is rumored to be making a return to television screens. The show, known for its hilarious portrayal of Brits on holiday, introduced viewers to the lovable Garvey family, including child stars Hannah Hobley and Oliver Stokes.

Hannah and Oliver all grown up

Hannah and Oliver, who played Chantelle and Michael Garvey on the show as children, recently appeared on Loose Women, much to the delight of fans. Oliver, now 26, reminisced about his time filming the series in Benidorm, where he spent months on set with a tutor for his schoolwork.

Potential revival in the works

Writer Derren Litten hinted at a possible comeback for Benidorm during a recent Facebook Live session, revealing that talks with ITV have been ongoing. While no official confirmation has been made, there is hope among fans and cast members for the show's return.

Excitement building for a reunion

Channel bosses are reportedly in discussions about reviving the award-winning series, with plans to bring back the original cast for a potential 11th series. The show, which garnered over 8 million viewers during its original run, ended in 2018 after a successful ten-season stint.
