Benidorm viewers were thrilled to see Nigel Havers pop up in the first episode of the new series, quipping that it was “a match made in tanned heaven”.
The Charmer star, 65, had a guest role as local dentist Stanley as the new holiday season kicked off at the Solana resort.
Viewers said Nigel’s performance on the ITV comedy was “priceless” and there were some calls to make him a regular.
