Benidorm Creator Forced to Sell Dream Villa
26 Feb
Summary
- Derren Litten is selling his four-bedroom Spanish villa.
- The villa was where the Benidorm TV series was written.
- He attributes the sale to a 'career gold digger' after a split.
Derren Litten, the creator of the hit comedy 'Benidorm,' is selling his four-bedroom villa on Spain's Costa Blanca. The property, where Litten penned the popular ITV series, is on the market for approximately £806,173.
Litten announced the sale via social media, attributing the forced sale to a 'shameless, career gold digger' following his 2024 separation from actor Jake Canuso, who starred in the show. The Mediterranean villa boasts tropical gardens, a private pool, and a summer kitchen.
The villa is located near Alfaz del Pi, with Benidorm's beaches and nightlife a short drive away. Litten has spoken about going through a "miserable divorce" in 2024, which has left him in poor financial standing.
Plans for a 'Benidorm' reboot have faced potential complications due to Canuso's significant role in the original series and the ongoing personal disputes between him and Litten.
