Storylines[]

Series 1[]

In the first series, Chantelle arrives in Benidorm wearing a pink anorak that she refuses to remove in spite of the hot weather. After taking part in the karaoke evening and bringing it to a premature close by over-heating and collapsing in the middle of a song, it is discovered that Chantelle is heavily pregnant, a fact unknown to even her closest family members. Chantelle does not get along with her grandmother Madge Harvey (Sheila Ried), and the pair are constantly trading insults. At one point, Madge threatens Chantelle by saying social services will take her child away from her. Telle often gets irritated by her younger brother Michael Garvey (Oliver Stokes) and gets her own back by teasing him, saying there's a monster in the pool. Geoff Maltby (Johnny Vegas) tries to impress Chantelle during a pool game, exaggerating and making up wins he had in the past. Chantelle sees through his unnecessary competitiveness and calls him out.
