Benidorm Star Crissy Rock Reveals She's "Living Like a Nomad"
You won’t believe what’s become of one of Benidorm’s most unforgettable characters. Crissy Rock, the woman behind the loud, brash, and utterly hilarious hotel manager Janey Yorke, has made a heartbreaking revelation that’s both shocking and incredibly raw. Years after the end of the ITV hit show Benidorm , Crissy has opened up about the struggles she’s facing behind the scenes—and they’re a far cry from the sunny, chaotic life we watched unfold on screen.

Crissy, now 66, is currently touring the UK with her live stage show An Evening with Crissy Rock: From Bedlam to Benidorm , but behind the curtains, her reality is tough. She describes herself as “living like a nomad,” moving from place to place, often sleeping on friends’ couches and keeping her entire wardrobe in the boot of her car. In her own words, if it weren’t for one loyal friend, she might be in a hostel—or worse, "a cardboard box."
She admits that her career, as exciting and unpredictable as it is, contributes to her transient lifestyle. “My job takes me everywhere,” Crissy says. “You can’t become complacent because every job is different.” While her words are full of energy, there’s a certain weight to them that hints at the personal costs behind the punchlines.
Despite the hardship, Crissy remains upbeat and is pouring her life story into her comedy. Her new show promises a blend of laughter and truth, detailing her transformation from Christine Murray to the Crissy Rock we all know and love. The show has already been a hit, with fans clamouring for tickets and venues adding extra dates well into Spring 2026.
There’s also buzz about Benidorm making a comeback, and Crissy isn’t shy about her hopes for it. She’s heard rumblings of a possible revival and says she’d love to return to the role of Janey—though she admits things would have to be a bit more “politically correct” this time around. She even pitched a juicy plot twist: Janey Yorke and Joyce Temple-Savage battling over who runs the Solana. “That would be good, wouldn’t it?” she teased.
Through all of this, Crissy’s secret weapon is humour. “I think that’s how I’ve coped with my life,” she admits. It’s this blend of grit, honesty, and laughter that continues to make her one of the UK’s most cherished comedy icons.
So while Crissy Rock may not have the glamorous lifestyle some might assume after TV fame, she’s still standing—and she’s still making us laugh. And maybe, just maybe, that’s the most powerful way to stay standing when life tries to knock you down.
