Benidorm star drops massive hint about its future

Sherrie Hewson, who played Joyce on the ITV series, has been speaking about a potential return for the show - in very exciting news for fans. She appeared on the Best's Suddenly Single podcast and said: “There is this thing that it's coming back though, and I keep that alive.

"It is now a possibility. That would be wonderful because we all miss it desperately."

Radio Times reports that ITV has not officially confirmed a return for the show. But Sherrie sounds optimistic at least.

When was Benidorm cancelled?

The show was axed by ITV following its 10th series in 2018 - which is seven years ago if you can believe it. After it was cancelled, the show went on to win Best Comedy at the TV Choice Awards a few weeks later.

In his acceptance speech, creator Derren Litten said: “This is a bit awkward – the show's just been cancelled. I have huge respect for ITV – a show that's getting 5.5 million and still picking up awards, but they've cancelled it. That takes balls."
