Ex-Union J singer George Shelley is guest starring in ITV's Benidorm and we've got the photos to prove it.

The Capital Breakfast host will be appearing in the fourth episode of the new series, which airs next week (March 29), as university student Giles, a friend of Rob Dawson (Josh Bolt).

While Rob's grandmother is away, he takes advantage of her five-star hotel, but things go wrong and he ends up a little worse for wear.

The pair meet by chance as Giles enjoys a lads' holiday – and he proves to be a good influence on Rob, making sure he doesn't go any further astray.

In the new snaps, George can be seen dressed as a builder as his character Giles and Rob enjoy a night out in fancy dress.

As well as George, other special guest stars coming up this series include Dame Joan Collins, Madness, Jason Manford, Amanda Barrie and Uri Geller.

At the beginning of March, ITV also announced that a 10th series of Benidorm is already in the works and that it will bring back Tim Healy as drag act Les/Lesley as well as Shane Richie.

George left Union J in March last year, with the group publicly announcing that they were looking for a new member.

His spokesperson confirmed to Digital Spy:"It was a mutual decision for George to leave Union J so he could focus on his broadcasting and acting career."

Catch builder-George in Benidorm on Wednesday, March 29 at 9pm on ITV.
