Benidorm star Hannah Hobley gives birth to her second child and reveals sweet name

Hannah Hobley-Smith, known for playing Chantelle Garvey on the popular TV show Benidorm, has had a baby – her second child.

Hannah, age 36, recently shared pictures of her newborn daughter. She welcomed the baby with her husband, Nathan Hobley-Smith, after two years of marriage.

‘World, meet Agatha Hobley-Smith – our 8lb chunk of gorgeousness. Born on the 06-09-2025.’

Hannah, known for her role in the first three seasons of Benidorm between 2007 and 2009, posted some heartwarming photos of her baby, Agatha, in the hospital. These were taken before Agatha met her older sister, Beatrice, who is two years old.

The actress received many congratulatory messages on her post, including one from Oliver Stokes, who played her on-screen brother Michael in Benidorm.

Hannah and Nathan got married in 2023, only four months after their daughter, Beatrice, was born.

With only a few months passing between the birth of her child and her wedding, Hannah wrote at the time, ‘Getting married 14 weeks after giving birth…’

‘Because why shouldn’t you fulfil life’s two biggest achievements within the space of a year?!

‘Thank you to everyone who came to celebrate with us and helped to make the day so special.

We’d like to give a special thank you to our wonderful daughter, Beatrice – she’s our proudest accomplishment. With love, Mr. and Mrs. Hobley-Smith.

Oh my gosh, Hannah played Chantelle in Benidorm, and she was AMAZING! She was this young mum who always rocked the brightest, most fabulous tracksuits – seriously, iconic! It was from 2007 to 2009, and I honestly rewatched those episodes just for her outfits. I was completely obsessed!

She announced her first pregnancy by paying tribute to her time on the show playing Chantelle.

In 2022, she highlighted her pregnancy with a bold tracksuit that closely resembled one she’d previously worn on ITV.

In side by side snaps, she wrote: ‘Spot the difference…

Just to be clear, this isn’t a joke or false alarm. We’re so grateful for all your lovely messages. Sending our love, Hannah, Nathan, and baby on the way!

Her other acting credits also include roles in BBC show Cranford and various pantomime productions.
