Is Benidorm really making a comeback?! Well, that was certainly what rumours suggested back in April, and while ITV hasn't officially confirmed it to be the case, star Sherrie Hewson has provided a few more details on the matter.
The actress, who played the formidable Joyce Temple-Savage, has said that scripts for a potential new season have been written and given to ITV bosses, who "think they are wonderful".
During an appearance at An Evening with Sherrie Hewson, the actress told the audience (via OK!): "I do know ITV have got new scripts and they love them and think they are wonderful."
But there was a caveat, Hewson continued: "The problem with Benidorm is that it's probably one of the most expensive shows ever because it's in Spain, we have a Spanish crew, we have a British crew, so it costs a fortune to make.
"But it's on twice a day every day and those ratings are still as high as they ever were, so I think it will [return]."

"So I don't think there's any question, it's just when," she said.
RadioTimes.com has reached out to ITV for further comment.
Earlier this year, Hewson said there was a "possibility" of it coming back, and days later, Litten offered another glimmer of hope.
In a Facebook Live video (via The Sun), Litten teased: "Have I been talking to ITV in the last few months? Yes I have.
"Have ITV commissioned a special or a series at the moment? No. Might they in the next few weeks [or] couple of months? Yeah they might. They might.
"So I hope that gives you [the fans] some hope, and I hope that gives you some idea of where we are."
Benidorm is available to stream on ITVX.
