Brace yourselves: the casting announcement of the month – nay, year – might be upon us, because according to reports, the Chuckle Brothers are heading to Benidorm.

It's been a while since we last saw the Brothers on our screens, so we're holding on to The Sun's claims that the UK's favourite double act (soz, Ant and Dec) are set to make an appearance on the ITV sitcom.

The very exciting rumours began to swirl after Paul Chuckle was pictured shooting a scene with Only Fools star John Challis on set in Spain.

Seemingly confirming the news, Paul took to Twitter to share a selfie of the pair, writing: "Me n #boycie Who looks the happiest?"

If Barry and Paul do end up making a cameo on the series, rest assured they'll be in good company. Union J's George Shelley is due to pop up in this week's episode, while a host of other guest stars have also been confirmed.

With the likes of Dame Joan Collins, Madness, Jason Manford, Amanda Barrie and Uri Geller all set to visit the Costa Blanca, it's safe to say the Solana is one of the most exclusive hotels around.

Proving its popularity, Benidorm was officially commissioned for a tenth series just one day after its ninth run began earlier this month.

The next instalment of the award-winning show is set to begin filming this month, with fan-favourites Shane Richie and Tim Healy both returning.

Benidorm continues on Wednesday, March 29 at 9pm on ITV.
