EXCLUSIVE ON SET! BENIDORM .. SEASON 6 ...

Joan on set with series star Sherrie Hewson...

Delighted to confirm that Joan will finally be making a guest appearance on the series finale of the new series of 'Benidorm' which is currently filming. Joan will play

Crystal Hennesey Vass, the CEO of the Solana Group,  who is a thorn in the side of hotel boss Joyce Temple-Savage played by Sherrie Hewson. Joan is a huge fan of the show but filming dates had never fitted in with her schedule.
  An ITV source said: “Show bosses are over the moon to have Joan on board.
"Derren Litten, the show’s creator, has written a brilliant character in Crystal.
"But dodgy tans, tasteless cocktails and all-night parties might be an eye opener for her.”
Joan is currently in the Holiday resort to film her scenes as you can see from these exclusive shots! The new series can be seen in the Autumn! Watch this space for dates!
