Privacy NoticeBenidorm creator Derren Litten has spilled the tea on the future of the much-loved ITV series. The popular show, which ran from 2007 to 2018, gave us a peek into the hilarious world of British holidaymakers soaking up the sun at the Spanish resort. The talented Derren not only penned the series but also starred alongside fan favourites like Sherrie Hewson, Steve Pemberton, and Siobhan Finneran. As fans have been clamouring for the return of the iconic sitcom after a six-year hiatus, Derren has finally addressed the burning question in a candid interview, dashing hopes by confessing that a comeback might just be wishful thinking. He said: “I’m gonna answer it honestly because I always sort of dodge this question and say ‘Never say never’. But at the moment I would say and it’s not the answer I think people want, which is a bit controversial but I think the time has passed.” Sign up to OK!’s daily newsletter to get updates sent to your inbox for free

Reflecting on the possibility of a one-off special, he lamented: “Which is terrible to think because what a laugh for us to do. If we could all do like a one-off special, but they’re so expensive. It was a very expensive show Benidorm, it was very lavishly produced,” reports the Daily Star. He also pointed out the practicalities, noting: “But to go there just for a few weeks and do it, I think it’s not very cost effective and I don’t know if a full series would work now.” However, he did leave a glimmer of hope, mentioning that the cast and crew would jump at the chance to reunite for one last hurrah. He shared: “I’m a bit of a pessimist so I would say the best thing to do would be a one-off special but I don’t think that’s possible. But I would love to do it and I know a lot of people, especially the actors who are still alive, I know they’d want to do it for sure.” The buzz around a potential Benidorm comeback intensified as Josh Bolt, known for his role as Rod Dawson, was spotted catching up with co-stars Steve Edge and Selina Griffiths. The 29 year old actor looked delighted in a snapshot with Steve, who played his on-screen father, and Selina, who took on the role of Pauline Maltby.
