Benidorm's Adam Gillen looks completely unrecognisable after show

ITV's Benidorm actor Adam Gillen looks drastically different years after the show wrapped.

Adam played the loveable role of Liam Conroy, a simple yet pure teenager trying to make the most of his holiday experience. He shortly picked up a part-time job at the Solana hotel alongside his father, Les, played by actor Time Healy.

The show wrapped back in 2018 which left enough time for the star to adjust and experiment with a new aesthetic. Adam dropped the fresh-faced look for an impressive beard and stylish wardrobe, a far cry from his on-screen counterpart.

Adam remains in touch with his old co-stars and continues to meet up every now and again. Tony Maudsley, who played hair salon owner Kenneth, which Adam had numerous scenes with, joined the actor for the Christmas holidays.

Tony isn't the only former co-star that Adam has remained in contact with - as he's understood to have been in a relationship with Laila Zaidi for a couple of years.

Sharing a snap of them together on Instagram, he said: "Guess who’s back in the house..." They're said to have met on the set of the final series of Benidorm in 2018, when Laila joined the cast in the role of Cid.
