So the speculation of who is to appear in Benidorm series 4 continues. So I thought I’d jot down a quick blog to set the record straight.
I think the first person who it was claimed would be joining us for fun and sun at the Solana was Kerry Katona. Not sure where this rumour came from (although I have a good idea) but I can confirm Ms Katona has never been “in talks” to appear in the show but we wish her well, looks like she’s heading in the right direction (away from Benidorm).
Jordan – I think I covered this one well enough on Twitter (when I was on it) but no, we never met Jordan and no offer of work was made. I think Jordan is an amazing business woman but somehow I think acting wouldn’t be her thing. She seems to have a film crew following her every move these days so I’m sure she has no need for things such as television comedies.
Cilla Black did ask if she could be in Benidorm, we talked about it with her management but things didn’t work out. We love Cilla though and she still remains the Liverpool Leg-end we always knew her to be!
We were in talks for a little while with Antony Cotton with a view to him being in the show. Again, sadly things didn’t work out but hopefully I’ll get to work with Antony another time, I think he’s great.
The latest one which was another baffler (as to where the story originated) was Jonathan Ross’s house band ‘4 Poof & A Piano’. Again, no truth in this one but I’m sure we will be seeing a lot more of them on TV after Mr Ross’s show comes to an end. I saw their show in Edinburgh last year and they were great!
So, that’s it for now; we are currently talking to a few very special guest stars for the Xmas Special and series 4, I so wish I could tell you more but something tells me you’ll get to find out sooner or later. And of course if you hear a rumour about any other actor/singer/dancer/performer being booked to appear in Benidorm, don’t forget to come back here and check first!
Now, where did I put Louie Spence’s phone number….
