Benidorm came to an end almost five years ago - but it ran for 10 series from its big debut on ITV in 2007.
The comedy show followed the holidaymakers and employees at an all-inclusive holiday resort in Benidorm, Spain, and all of the hilarious antics that ensued there.
Series creator and writer Derren Little confirmed in 2018": Yes folks it's true, after months of speculation, I can finally confirm Benidorm series 10 was the LAST EVER TV SERIES of @BenidormTVshow ".
So as the beloved comedy came to a close on ITV, the cast members went their separate ways and onto new ventures, but what became of them?
Danny Walters
Danny Walters played Tiger Dyke on the ITV sitcom from 2014 to 2017.
However, the 27-year-old made a huge career change when he left the comedy and joined BBC One soap opera EastEnders in the role of hunky Keanu Taylor.
As part of the raucous Taylor clan, Keanu quickly became embroiled in chaos but his big storyline saw him begin an affair with Sharon Mitchell (Letitia Dean) whilst dating her step-daughter Louise (Tilly Keeper) - later fathering a child with each of them.
Danny remained on EastEnders until he quit in 2019, with Keanu's final scenes airing in early 2020 as his storyline with the Mitchell clan came to an end.
Jake Canuso
Italian-British actor and dancer Jake Canuso played Solana barman Mateo Castellanos across the comedy's entire run - making him the longest-running Benidorm cast member.
When Benidorm ended in 2018, Jake joined several other cast members in Derren Little's Benidorm Live stage show, which toured the UK from September 2018 until April 2019 for 250 shows.
Since then, Jake has collaborated once more with Derren on his BBC One sitcom Scarborough, playing the role of Tony Peroni in the 2019 series.
These days, Jake is offering paid personalised messages as Mateo via the video service Memmo, tweeting last year: "I hear Mateo is doing a lot of skiving off work to send personalised video messages directly from the Costa Blanca".

"It’s made me feel like I can look in the mirror."

She and Steve Pemberton announced their decision to leave the show during Benidorm's sixth series.
At the time, the actress told What's on TV: "We were in a terrible state. It was our decision to stop, but it was still heartbreaking. A lot of guest stars – brilliant people like David Bradley – have said it’s a treat of a job, and they’re right.
She added: "So it was really, really upsetting to say goodbye to the cast and crew. You know you’re not going to work with them ever again. Then to come home and think, 'Blimey, we’ve actually done it', is quite something."

She has also appeared in the crime drama The Moorside based on the disappearance of Shannon Matthews, the BBC comedy series The Other One, and last year, she appeared in hit Netflix thriller The Stranger.
