Benidorm star unrecognisable 11 years after show – and he’s loved up with co-star
BENIDORM star Adam Gillen looks unrecognisable 11 years after he joined the sitcom.
It’s hard to believe Adam, 37, first joined the ITV series as hapless holidaymaker Liam Conroy all that time ago – with his ginger locks and clean-shaven face.
And while the show was cancelled in 2018, the actor has been spotted looking drastically different five years on, sporting a huge bushy beard and blonde hair.
Fans were recently left shocked to discover that Adam is loved up with another former Benidorm co-star.
His social media accounts feature numerous photos of him with Laila Zaidi, who played Cyd.
One fan commented under one two years ago: “THEY ARE A REAL LIFE COUPLE.”
Another added: “Lovely picture of you both x”.
The clumsy character was initially a holidaymaker, who had travelled to Benidorm to visit his father Les Conroy, who worked at the Solana.
In series five, Liam joined the Solana workforce as a maintenance worker.
However, in the series finale, the lad leaves the Solana to pursue a career with Kenneth Du Beke in the Blow ‘n’ Go Salon.
Liam returned to the show and appeared singing a duet, with Kenneth (Tony Maudsley), in the last 10 minutes of episode 7 at the end of Series 8. He also made a comeback in series 10.
