I had the absolute pleasure of catching ‘Benidorm Live’ this week; a live version of the hit TV show written by Derren Litten. The show translates to stage perfectly; it’s essentially like this mini pantomime\u2026it’s funny, it’s ambitious, it’s tongue-in-chic and it featured my favourite characters from the season – the wonderful Joyce Temple-Savage played by Sherrie Hewson, is elegant and hysterical and commands the stage!<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Sam appears much softer in the stage adaptation and is much more of a maternal figure to Liam, instead of pulling her usual schemes that were used to from her\u2026but she does do a knock out performance of Faith Hill’s ‘There You’ll Be’\u2026Kenneth is absolutely hysterical and I think it’s fair to say that 99% of the audience were waiting for him to appear in an over tight t-shirt and on stage he wore the beloved Bleached Whale t-shirt\u2026I won’t go too much into the plot of the show however think ‘The Government Inspector’ by Nikolai Gogol translated from 1836 Russia to 2019 Benidorm. We had some brief drinks with the cast afterwards and I think I just fan girled over Sherrie Hewson.<\/p>\n

I was an extra on \u2018Celebs Go Dating\u2019 last week, and to keep it short & simple, it was a 9\/10 hour shoot. I was drunk throughout and remember very little about it. I know I conversed with Megan McKenna about her music and that is all. The guys were all sweet and were meant to be having a reunion bash at some point but I 100% left our group chat because they talk too much. Sorry guys.<\/p>\n

I seem to have caught the most irritating cough in the world, so I’m going to attempt to quit smoking to rid myself of the cough\u2026Not sure it’ll work, but you can’t blame a boy for trying\u2026<\/p>\n
