THIS Benidorm star has revealed that she now basically lives “like a nomad” sleeping on peoples’ couches, despite being a praised actress. 

The star was a long-standing member of the Hotel Solana gang, with the ITV series becoming a fan favourite until it ended seven years ago.

However, fast forward to today, and Crissy Rock has revealed that, due to her career, she could end up living “out of a cardboard box”. 

Crissy, who played hotel manager Janey York in the sitcom, said that her job means that she’s always on the go, and can’t become “complacent” as her work sends her all over the place. 

She told The Express: “Me, I’m like a nomad. I live from place to place to place. My wardrobe is just the boot of my car. If it wasn’t for my friend, I would be living in a hostel or a cardboard box.” 

Crissy adds that she “moves around from couch to couch” when back at home in Liverpool, flitting between her friends and family members. 

However, the star noted it was her choice to do it, leaving her open for opportunities – including a possible Benidorm reboot.

The Sun exclusively revealed in April that the cast were in early talks to make a comeback for another run. 

A source said: “Benidorm was adored by millions when it was suddenly cancelled. Fans will be thrilled to hear ITV wants to bring it back.

“An 11th series hasn’t been commissioned yet, but there’s major excitement building as early talks begin.

“Producers have started to reach out to the show’s stars and are hopeful a decision can be made later this year.”

While she said it would be “brilliant” to bring the show back, Crissy remained tight-lipped about whether she would be a part of it. 

Benidorm, which followed a gang of unique British holidaymakers and the quirky staff at the Solana all-inclusive resort in Spain, ran from 2007 to 2018. 

The actress appeared as a regular face during the first four series of the show, before becoming less frequent and leaving at the end of series seven. 

Sherrie Hewson later replaced her as the Solana’s manager, while Crissy went on to appear on Celebrity Masterchef and I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here.

Even though the show was axed in 2018, it went on to win Best Comedy at the TV Choice Awards that year – prompting creator Derren Litten to take a swipe at the channel over the decision. 

As he picked up the gong, he told the crowd: “This is a bit awkward, the show’s just been cancelled.”

“I’ve huge respect for ITV — a show that’s getting five and a half million viewers and still picking up awards, but they’ve cancelled it,” he added. 

“That takes balls.”

Despite the end of the show being seven years ago, fans continue to flock to ITVX to watch the series. 

The all-star cast included Ted Lasso’s Hannah Waddingham, Johnny Vegas, Tim Healy, Steve Pemberton and Siobhan Finneran.

Травень 2025 року видався напрочуд активним для українського авторинку. За попередніми підрахунками AUTO-Consulting, продажі нових легкових автомобілів зросли одразу на 12% у порівнянні з квітнем, і на 17,6% — порівняно з травнем минулого року. Таким чином, вдалося частково компенсувати падіння початку року й вийти на позитивну динаміку: загальне відставання від 2024-го скоротилось до менш ніж […]

A DISTANT moon in our solar system might mirror Earth’s seasons, according to scientists, who also believe it could be a candidate for finding nearby alien life.

And scientists just spotted a mysterious motion in its atmosphere.

Titan, Saturn’s largest moon, is home to sprawling rivers and lakes of liquid methane, icy boulders and dunes of grains that resemble coffee grounds.

It even has an ocean hiding beneath its surface.

Some 746million miles (1.2billion kilometers) away from Earth, the distant moon is thought to have rain clouds just like Earth.

Unlike seasons on Earth, Titan has a much longer seasonal cycle, with each year on the moon lasting nearly three decades on our planet.

Despite its brutally cold temperatures, which average around -179C (-290F), this strange, alien world appears to have the organic ingredients for life.

Titan is the only moon in our solar system with a significant atmosphere, making it a top candidate for exploration.

Nasa’s $3.35billion (£2.48billion) Dragonfly mission to Saturn’s moon is set to explore the possibility of past or present water-based life, particularly in subsurface oceans and liquid reservoirs.

The mission just passed its critical design review – meaning engineers can begin building the helicopter-like robot ahead of its scheduled launch in July 2028.

Dragonfly, which was officially selected as a viable mission in 2019, is expected to reach Titan sometime in 2034.

‘Strange’ motion

In late May, researchers found that Titan’s hazy atmosphere wobbles like a gyroscope in line with its seasons, as opposed to spinning in line with its surface.

The “strange” motion was detected following analysis of archival infrared data gathered by Cassini probe.

“The behavior of Titan’s atmospheric tilt is very strange,” Dr. Lucy Wright, a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Bristol, said at the time.

“Titan’s atmosphere appears to be acting like a gyroscope, stabilising itself in space.

“We think some event in the past may have knocked the atmosphere off its spin axis, causing it to wobble.

“Even more intriguingly, we’ve found that the size of this tilt changes with Titan’s seasons.”

But understanding how the atmosphere wobbles with the seasons is crucial for calculating the landing trajectory of Dragonfly.

The rotorcraft will be carried by Titan’s fast-moving winds as it descends through the atmosphere.

Winds on Titan’s upper atmosphere can be tempestuous, with speeds reaching up to 270mph (430kmph). 

Near the surface, however, the winds are much weaker.

The tilt of the planet affects how Dragonfly’s payload – a suite of scientific instruments designed to search for alien life – will be carried through the air.

So research into the atmospheric motion can help engineers better predict where Dragonfly will touch down on the lunar surface.

Saturn’s moon Titan could harbor life, but only a tiny amount, a new study found[/caption]

Food for thought

There appears to be plenty of organic material on Titan to support alien lifeforms, according to a study published in The Planetary Science Journal last month.

Its lakes and its subsurface ocean believed to be 300miles deep, is thought to be filled with cold, oily methane and ethane – which is organic material.

“There has been this sense that because Titan has such abundant organics, there is no shortage of food sources that could sustain life,” Antonin Affholder, of the University of Arizona and lead author of the paper, said in a statement.

The world exceeds even Earth’s oil reserves.

However, scientists remain skeptical, and while Titan could harbour life, it’s likely only to be a small amount.

“We point out that not all of these organic molecules may constitute food sources, the ocean is really big,” added Affholder.

“And there’s limited exchange between the ocean and the surface, where all those organics are, so we argue for a more nuanced approach.”

 

The summer gaming season has officially commenced, and with State of Play and Summer Game Fest 2025 out of the way, it’s time for Xbox to follow the rite of passage via the Xbox Games Showcase with their own set of announcements, surprises, and world premieres. It’s an exciting time for gamers worldwide, as Xbox’s […]
