Claire Sweeney also attended the star studded bash, alongside Sherrie Hewson who has played Joyce Temple-Savage since 2012.

Nigel Havers was hilariously dwarfed by the glamorous drag artists on the red carpet.

While John Challis looked slightly stunned by the gorgeous ladies.

But he appeared to have a fun time, and tweeted: "A great night meeting up with the Benidorm family cast and crew. Emotional."

Fans of Benidorm were left in stiches today when Janine Duvitski appeared on Good Morning Britain.

She was being interviewed by Richard Arnold when he suffered a deckchair malfunction and fell through the notoriously temperamental beach chair.

Janine was answering a question on what it was like to film the tenth series in the famous Spanish town when the incident happened.

She said: “Well, I am so bad. It’s a bit weird when we all go out together. People are sort of like, ‘Oh my gosh’.”

Richard asked if she ever went out dressed as her character Jacqueline Stewart and she laughingly replied: “Never!”

The Good Morning Britain presenter then leaned forward while still sat in his deck chair. But the deckchair had other ideas and it flipped Richard back as he fell straight through the stripy material.

He roared out laughing while Janine looked horrified by the embarrassing blunder. The pair then fell into giggles.

The actress told him: “You should do comedy.
