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.
