Can you believe its been 11 years since Benidorm first hit our TV screens?
But sadly, all good things must come to an end, as the shows creator Darren Litten has confirmed the ITV comedy has been axed and the final episode will air this week.
Taking to Twitter he wrote:
“Crazy to think Wednesday will be the last episode of Benidorm! I created the series over 11 years ago, wrote it, guest starred in it and ended up directing it. Its difficult to think what else there is to do! Thank you for watching! #MuchasGracias”

And fans were clearly left heartbroken at the news that well no longer be part of life at the Solana all-inclusive hotel.
One said: “Thank you for giving us 10 cracking seasons! One of the best programs on the telly box and it will go down in history. I do hope this isnt the end. That show is too good to end. But I know what ever you decide to do will be in the best interest of the show”
Another commented: “ITV should be phoning Derren up begging him to do more… What other good comedies are there currently? None”
Gutted to hear #Benidorm is coming to an end… enjoy every season though!

Devastated to hear the axing of Benidorm.
I rarely turn on the TV, but when I do, it's to watch Benidorm. https://t.co/3uiuACdux2— Robert Midgley (@RobertMidgley07) April 30, 2018

I'm so sad Benidorm is ending. It makes me laugh so much. I really do hope you will write something new. You have a great talent don't let it go to waste. I'm sure I speak for thousands of people when I wish you all the best and thanks for the greatest show. X— Tonya Spurway (@SpurwayTonya) April 30, 2018

He said: “Sunday is a day of rest I refuse to get angry ….inhale, exhale Sammy , just breath you big lump of beautiful gorgeousness …F**k it !!!! Nooooooooooo !”

But while Wednesday maybe the last time we see it on the small screen, fans can still get their fix as a stage version is in the process of being created and will be touring later this year.
Benidorm Live, written by Derren, will go on a 25-date tour across the UK from September.
