Johnny Vegas

The Garvey family are to be written out of Benidorm.

Steve Pemberton who plays Mick Garvey is to leave the show in the next series, along with his on-screen wife Janice played by Siobhan Finneran and mother-in-law Madge Harvey, portrayed by Sheila Reid.

Oliver Stokes will also be leaving, who plays teenage son Michael.

However, Tim Healy will step back into his stilettos as character Les/Lesley along with Sherrie Hewson as manageress Joyce Temple Savage and the handsome Jake Canuso, as charismatic bar worker Mateo.

Returning to the series will be Johnny Vegas as Geoff 'The Oracle' Maltby, who left the show back in 2009, his on-screen mother Noreen Maltby played by Elsie Kelly and Crissy Rock as Janey York.

Johnny Vegas is to return to 'Benidorm'.

"After another successful run on screen we're thrilled that a new series is about to start shooting on location in Spain." said Elaine Bedell, ITV Director of Entertainment.

She continued: "We're equally pleased that some familiar faces from the Solana's past will be making a welcome return to the sunshine."

A source told The Sun newspaper: "It's a huge shame the Garveys are leaving because they've been in every series and the fans love them, but writer Derren Litten is excited about their exit storyline.

"He wants them to leave with a bang -- though he'll definitely leave the door open for them to return."
