Johnny's Benidorm hotel gutted by blaze
A huge blaze has destroyed large parts of a hotel where the Johnny Vegas sitcom Benidorm is filmed.
The fire started in the kitchen of the Sol Pelicanos Ocas.
Producers now face a race against time to make sure the hotel is ready for the start of filming the third series of the popular TV show.
"We are working on the third series, but filming isn't scheduled to start until January," said a spokesman for the show. "We're expecting the hotel will be up and running by then."
Benidorm, which made its debut on ITV in 2007, follows the adventures of a group of British holidaymakers at a Spanish resort.
Vegas stars in the sitcom as Geoff 'The Oracle' Maltby, a pub quiz champion holidaying with his mother.
