At some point its regular cast has included the likes of Johnny Vegas, Sherrie Hewson, Steve Pemberton, Sheridan Smith and John Challis.
Litten announced the news on Twitter, writing: “Crazy to think Wednesday will be the last episode of Benidorm!
“I created the series over 11 years ago, wrote it, guest starred in it and ended up directing it. It’s difficult to think what else there is to do! Thank you for watching!”

Earlier this year a one-off documentary celebrating the show saw cast members discuss their relationship with the series and their characters as well as a behind-the-scenes look around the city, led by Litten.
There were also a number of secrets revealed by the cast including details surrounding a fight between characters Kenneth Du Beke (Tony Maudsley) and Joyce Temple-Savage (Sherrie Hewson).
Reminiscing about the first series, Litten said he expected to get a “free holiday in Spain” and perhaps meet some new friends.
“Well Spain is now my home and I have found a family,” he said with a tear in his eye.
The show’s current cast includes Challis and Hewson as well as Jake Canuso, Tim Healy and Nathan Bryon.
Benidorm airs at 9pm on Wednesday on ITV1
