Benidorm Star Julie Graham Finds Love Again After Tragedy, Goes Antiquing with EastEnders Friend
British actress Julie Graham, known for her role in Benidorm, has found love again after enduring a heartbreaking tragedy. Graham, who married Silent Witness star Joseph Bennett in 2002, was left shattered when he tragically took his own life in a London park in 2015.
But now, Graham has tied the knot with her current husband, Davy Crockett, in a private ceremony held in Brighton in 2019. The couple first crossed paths during the filming of Benidorm, where Graham unexpectedly met the Belgian skydiving instructor.
Graham shares a loving home with her two daughters, Edie May and Betty, from her previous marriage with Bennett. Reflecting on her second chance at love, she admitted that she was initially hesitant to enter into a new relationship, as she wanted to focus on herself after the challenging year she had experienced.
Amidst her personal journey, Graham’s career continues to thrive. While she is well-known for her role as Sheron Dawson in the hit comedy Benidorm, she has also appeared in recent television shows like The Serial Killer’s Wife and Penance, showcasing her versatility as an actress.
Currently, fans can catch Graham in an episode of Celebrity Antique Road Trip, where she competes against her close friend and fellow actress Tamzin Outhwaite, renowned for her portrayal of Mel Owen on EastEnders. The two initially bonded while working together on a TV series, even orchestrating a fake argument to test the paparazzi’s reactions.
Graham has highlighted the unwavering support she receives from Outhwaite, stating that she is the person she could rely on even at 3am to ask for £10,000 and a small aeroplane. Despite their strong friendship, tonight’s show will see them face-off in a friendly yet competitive battle to unearth the highest-value antiques in Sussex.
Julie Graham’s journey of love and friendship continues to inspire many, as she bravely navigates life after tragedy while enjoying the success of her acting career.
