Just before Benidorm ended, it was announced he would be joining the cast of the BBC soap as the hunky Keanu.
He also kept in close contact with creator Derren and bagged a role in his BBC One sitcom Scarborough, where he played the role of Tony Peroni in the 2019 series, before portraying Stewie in the television film My Bad.
She played the character for six series and returned for a role in the seventh, as well as taking on a guest stint in series eight.
Actor and dancer Jake Canuso played hunky waiter Mateo Castellanos since the show began and was the longest-running Benidorm cast member.
Although fans now know him best for his role as Keanu Taylor on EastEnders, Danny Walters played mischievous teenager Tiger Dyke on Benidorm between 2014 and 2017.
