Spain<\/a> for a decade before their split.<\/p>\nTaking social media on Wednesday, Derren told fans how he was being forced to sell his four-bed home ‘thanks to a shameless, career gold digger’.<\/p>\n
Sharing a link to the abode, which is located in Costa Blanca North, Alicante, Derren said: ‘Would you like to buy the house where I wrote the Benidorm TV series?<\/p>\n
‘I love this house but thanks to a shameless, career gold digger I have to sell. As the Spanish say, No pasa nada!’<\/p>\n

Derren Litten has revealed he is being forced to sell his Spanish home following his divorce from actor Jake Canuso (pictured in 2018)<\/p>\n
It is not completely clear who Derren is referring to, though concerned fans have speculated whether it is in relation to his former partner.<\/p>\n
Daily Mail has contacted representatives for Derren and Jake for comment.<\/p>\n
On the market for a cool \u20ac925,000 (\u00a3805,600), the property boasts an impressive exterior, including a large private pool with covered terrace as well as a summer kitchen and bar area.<\/p>\n
Inside, there is a large living room and separate dining area, with a master bedroom and en suite, and two other bedrooms located at the front of the house.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The listing says how a separate office space in the garden could be converted into another bedroom.<\/p>\n
Previously speaking about his divorce in 2024, Derren shared:\u00a0‘I don’t really talk about my personal life here but the reason I’ve been a bit scarce on the socials is for the last 18 months I’ve been going through a pretty miserable divorce.<\/p>\n
‘So I’m obviously poor now. And you thought we couldn’t have more in common then we already do?!’\u00a0<\/p>\n
Last year a TV insider revealed how reported plans to revive Benidorm could be difficult as Jake’s character\u00a0Mateo Castellano was a lead star.<\/p>\n
They said:\u00a0‘Matteo is Benidorm, he\u2019s the character that everyone wants to see.<\/p>\n
‘He\u2019s been part of the Solana since the beginning so for him not to feature in any future reboot, well it just would not be the same without him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘Jake created one of the show\u2019s most loved characters in Matteo, but with everything that\u2019s happened between him and Derren, it\u2019s not looking good.’<\/p>\n
Another added to The Sun: ‘Conversations have been had.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
He and Jake, 56, who divorced in 2024, lived together in Spain for a decade before their split (pictured in 2014)<\/p>\n
‘The only way Jake will return is if ITV make him a huge offer, one that he could not possibly turn down.<\/p>\n
‘But obviously Derren is making negotiations difficult. He is the writer and creator and believes that he should make all the decisions.<\/p>\n
‘The fans would want to see Matteo, which ITV get. It\u2019s all become one big headache.’<\/p>\n
Benidorm began in 2007 but came to an end in May 2018, and fans have been begging for more ever since.<\/p>\n
Just two months after its cancellation was confirmed, the show won best comedy at TV Choice Awards – with Derren calling out the decision in his acceptance speech at the time.<\/p>\n
