Benidorm and Mrs Brown's Boys crossover episode coming soon!

Benidorm star Sherrie Hewson has revealed how Mrs Brown's Boys creator and star Brendan O'Carroll has approached her to help make the comedy crossover happen.

“Another person who asked me to ask Derren (Litten, Benidorm creator) about coming on the show was Brendan O’Carroll from Mrs Brown’s Boys,” she told The Mirror.

“He said to me, ‘Couldn’t we all just come into the hotel and check in as a family? Even if you don’t see us again, just come in, check us all in, take no notice of us, just that scene, and then you don’t see them.”

Mrs Brown’s Boys is UK televisions highest-rated sitcom for the BBC, while enduring favourite Bendirom continues to pull in huge names and huge ratings for ITV.

Sherrie recently confessed how she can’t find a boyfriend because she’s too scared to take her clothes off.

The star has been single since she divorced her husband Ken Boyd in 2011 and, although she’d love to bag herself a new man, she’s struggling in the romance department because she’s worried about skills in the bedroom.

Speaking on Good Morning Britain on Thursday , she said: “I wouldn’t have anybody in my toilet. And then you’ve got all that taking your clothes off. I have been on my own for so long, how do you let someone else in to your house? And still keep the light on? You can’t take your clothes off at this age!”

The 66-year-old actress can see similarities between her and her bolshie alter-ego Joyce Temple-Savage, a role she’s portrayed in the ITV comedy since 2012, because she thinks her upfront “bossy” personality scares people off on the first date.

She explained: “She’s a victim of her own circumstances. She’s very bossy and she can turn any man away because of the bossiness. Because she’s been on her own for so long, she’s willing and she’s looking but then she bosses them about.
