Joan on set with Sherrie Hewson
 Joan will finally be making a guest appearance on the series finale of the new series of 'Benidorm' which is currently filming. Joan will play Chrystal, Hennesey Vass, the CEO of the Solana

"Derren Litten, the show’s creator, has written a brilliant character in  Chrystal.
"But dodgy tans, tasteless cocktails and all-night parties might be an eye opener for her.”
Joan is currently in the resort to film her scenes which will air in the Autumn!
