T'Pau star heads to Benidorm

T’Pau singer Carol Decker is to make a cameo appearance in the next series of Benidorm.

She’ll be in the audience in a bar when John Challis’s character Monty sings a karaoke version of her biggest hit, China In Your Hand.

The appearance came about as the pop singer is pals with Challis, also known as Boycie in Only Fools and Horses.

She told the Shropshire Star, where she hails from: ’In spring, when he was filming Benidorm, I got wind of an episode in which he’d been asked to sing a karaoke version of China In Your Hand.

‘So I dropped John a line to wish him all the best and the next thing I knew I was being flown out to Spain to star in the episode. ‘

Challis added: ‘’She needn’t worry, I’m no competition when it comes to singing.’

The episode will be aired when Benidorm returns to ITV in the spring.
