She may be best known for her role as hotel manager Janey York in Benidorm, but acting is just one string to Crissy Rock’s bow. The Scouse star was a regular on the Benidorm stand-up circuit before she joined the hit ITV sitcom, plus she’s a best-selling author and is also penning a TV comedy she hopes to get commissioned.

When we call the bubbly 61-year-old for a catch-up, she’s taking a stroll with her husband Julian Buck, who she married in a movie-themed wedding in 2018. She tells us she’s doing more walking because she recently embarked on an NHS weight loss plan in a bid to shed those lockdown pounds.

Here, Crissy reveals all about her weight loss crusade, bonding with Pete Wicks and finding love with a younger man…

Hi Crissy! How is married life?
