Benidorm star Asa Elliott reveals wife is pregnant with their second baby after quitting fame to become delivery driver
BENIDORM star Asa Elliott has revealed his wife is pregnant with their second child.
The 40-year-old, who played the singer at the Solana Hotel from 2010 to 2014, shared his happy news on social media.
Posting a picture of their little boy holding a baby scan, he simply wrote: “Baby 2. #TeamElliott.”
His fans rushed to congratulate him, with some taking the opportunity to tell him how much they miss seeing him on TV.
Asa and his wife Natalie are also parents to a little boy called Buddy, two.
He became a delivery driver for ASDA after the pandemic cancelled his singing jobs on cruise ships in March - just two weeks after the birth of his first child.
But he’s now back working on the cruises and has already been in St Lucia and Barbados this year.
Speaking about the past few years, Asa told : "At the beginning of the lockdown the work was drying up for obvious reasons and I thought to myself, 'I'm not going to be sat around on my hands for this'.
"I got a job with my local shop in Kingswood doing deliveries for them and I helped out at the local vaccination centres as a volunteer steward.”
He added: "I look back and I just think 'what a difference a year can make'. This time last year I was making my deliveries, and enjoying it, but now I'm back on the boats and have been out to Barbados.”

After appearing on Benidorm, Asa went on to join the cast of Benidorm Live in 2018/19.
He was originally spotted for the role while working in Benidorm by the show’s creator.
Discussing his time on the hit show, Asa said: "Working on Benidorm it didn't seem like a big deal at the time, I wasn't nervous or anything like that, it is only looking back I realise how big it was.
"It is one of those shows that just seems to stick around with streaming and things like that. I love it when people get in touch that have just watched it for the first time and find me on social media.”
