\"ITVITV Benidorm legend gives birth and shares unique name as co-stars rush to congratulate<\/p>\n

A cherished Benidorm<\/a> actress has announced the arrival of her second baby.<\/p>\n

Hannah Hobley portrayed spirited teenage mum Chantelle Garvey in the popular ITV<\/a> comedy series, crafted by Derren Litten. The much-loved sitcom chronicled a group of Brits at the famous Solana all-inclusive Resort in Benidorm.<\/p>\n

Hannah remained a main cast member for the initial three series, alongside her on-screen mum and dad Mick and Janice, portrayed by Steve Pemberton and Siobhan Finneran. From concealing her pregnancy<\/a> in the beginning to developing feelings for Geoff (Johnny Vegas), she certainly kept viewers thoroughly amused.<\/p>\n

However, in 2009, Hannah departed the programme. Her fellow Garvey relatives remained on the show as main characters until the sixth series.<\/p>\n

Following her exit from Benidorm, Hannah has carried on with her acting career and featured in BBC<\/a> drama Cranford from 2007-2019. Her private life has also been flourishing remarkably, reports OK!<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In November 2022, she gave birth to her first baby, Beatrice, with partner Nathan. During 2023, she and Nathan exchanged vows. Last week, Hannah revealed she had delivered her second child.<\/p>\n

Posting on her Instagram<\/a>, Hannah uploaded several pictures including one of her in hospital holding her newborn. She captioned the post: “World, meet Agatha Hobley-Smith – our 8lb chunk of gorgeousness. Born on the 06-09-2025.”<\/p>\n

Hannah’s friends and followers quickly flooded the comments to offer their congratulations. Oliver Stokes, who portrayed Chantelle’s sibling Michael in the programme, commented: “Congratulations!” Meanwhile her fellow Benidorm co-star Asa Elliott wrote: “Congratulations.”<\/p>\n

Another fan gushed: “Oh Hannah can’t believe she’s here congratulations to you and Nathan and Beatrice. Welcome to the world<\/a> Agatha.”<\/p>\n

Earlier this year, both Hannah and her on-screen sibling Oliver appeared on Loose Women<\/a> to chat about their stint on the ITV programme.<\/p>\n

Hannah disclosed that appearing in Benidorm still “feels like yesterday” and she is frequently taken aback by the ITV show being broadcast on television despite wrapping up seven years ago.<\/p>\n

During the interview, Oliver, 26, spoke warmly of his period portraying Michael on Benidorm.<\/p>\n

He was merely eight years old when he landed the part, and detailed how he would spend roughly three months at a stretch in Benidorm filming, with a private teacher arriving to handle schoolwork with him for up to five hours daily.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Benidorm favourite confirmed the birth and shared the first snaps of the newborn 08:44, 15 Sep 2025Updated…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":138688,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[64627,6491,64624,96,347,64625,64623,64626,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-138687","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-benidorm","tag-celebrities","tag-derren-litten","tag-entertainment","tag-itv","tag-johnny-vegas","tag-siobhan-finneran","tag-steve-pemberton","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/138687","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=138687"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/138687\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/138688"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=138687"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=138687"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=138687"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
