Benidorm's Chantelle Garvey unrecognisable from ITV fame

Benidorm actress Hannah Hobley-Smith is unrecognisable from her initial stint on ITV.

The now 34-year-old played Chantelle Garvey from 2007 - 2009 but recently tied the knot with her fiancé, sharing photos from the wedding on social media.

Hannah donned a gorgeous white gown for the occasion with a bouquet in hand while the groom opted for a blue suit, which he accompanied with a red tie.

The wedding was held less than four months after they welcomed their first child. Their daughter Beatrice was born on November 5 last year, the Mirror reported.

Hannah mentioned the short period of time between the two special occasions in the caption that accompanied the photos shared on the platform a few weeks ago.

The caption said: "Getting married 14 weeks after giving birth ... because why shouldn't you fulfil life's two biggest achievements within the space of a year?!"

The actor went on to reveal the date of their wedding and she added: "Thank you to everyone who came to celebrate with us and helped to make the day so special".

She gave special shout-outs in the caption to their photographer and to the makeup artist who Hannah said had made the bridal party "look and feel so beautiful". The post concluded with a mention of the couple's daughter, as Hannah said: "A special thanks to our beautiful daughter, Beatrice - our greatest achievement".

Hannah - whose acting credits also include roles in BBC show Cranford and various pantomime productions - signed off by revealing that she and Nathan are now "Mr and Mrs Hobley-Smith".

The post prompted messages of congratulations from some of her followers, including former Coronation Street star Paula Lane, who played Kylie Platt on the ITV soap opera.
