Sad news as Benidorm actor loses cancer battle


Today is a sad day for Benidorm fans, as it has been announced that Kenny Ireland has died, aged 68.

Kenny made plenty of fans laugh, playing swinger Donald Stewart in the Spanish-set comedy, alongside Janine Duvitski, who plays his on-screen wife, Jacqueline.

The character of Donald was written out of the show in June last year, while Kenny concentrated on his treatment.

A spokesperson for ITV said: 

"We are terribly saddened to hear that Kenny Ireland has passed away, our thoughts are with his family at this time. He was a much loved actor, not only by the cast and crew on Benidorm but by the millions of fans out there. He appeared as Donald Stewart in Benidorm from the first episode and helped play a huge part in its success. He will be greatly missed."
