Channel 5's Bargain Loving Brits in the Sun and Benidorm icon Graham Boland tragically passed away Wednesday afternoon.

Graham's brother, Anthony Horadada said: "I am completely heartbroken to be typing this message to tell you all the devastating news that my baby brother Graham sadly passed away this afternoon.”

He added, “As you can imagine this is the most heartbreaking news not only for myself and our family but also to all that knew and loved him too.”

Graham gained fame through his participation in the Channel 5 program Bargain Loving Brits in the Sun, a documentary series that follows Britons who have relocated to Benidorm in pursuit of sunny weather and a more affordable lifestyle.

Departing the UK, Graham established his popular bar, Happy Days, in the sun-drenched locale.

As a notable figure in Benidorm, he previously served as the entertainment manager at Camping Villamar and held the position of drive-time DJ at Fresh Radio.

Graham's most recent appearance on the Channel 5 show was in April, where he introduced viewers to his new family addition - a cherished puppy.

However, a mere five months later, Graham made it known that he would no longer be participating in further filming for the show.

He was on the reality show for an impressive 10 years, but left the show last year, with his final appearance in April showing him getting a new adorable puppy.

In his statement, Graham declared his departure from the show, expressing his affection for every moment, especially highlighting his enjoyment of the Gay Pride parade.

He penned, “Well after 10 years filming Bargain Brits I've finally called it a day... I've loved every minute”

“But filming Gay Pride Benidorm was the ultimate day... thank you to all that cheered and shouted my name,” Graham continued.

He shared, “I'd just like to say thank you to all the film and production team over the years. We did have a ball... I hope you all enjoyed the journey as much as me.”
