I nabbed a bargain Benidorm penthouse suite with stunning views for just £17-a-head – but it came with a catch

A BRIT holidaymaker nabbed a penthouse suite with gorgeous views for just £17 per night - but it came with one catch.
Graham White was amazed when he found the budget apartment going for a jaw-dropping price of just £17 per person.

It cost the 48-year-old and his three mates just £136 for two nights - or £68 for one - making it just £17 per person.
But there was one bizarre condition.
The tourist, who has over 75,000 followers on TikTok, said: 'I would stay there again, but the only thing is you couldn't be loud after 11pm."
The strange rule stated that tenants had to be quiet after an 11pm curfew - despite it being located right above one of the busiest clubs in town.
Graham explained: "You're above the busiest nightclub in Benidorm that closes at 5am so it's bouncing all night."
The influencer shared a clip of the place on TikTok which amassed 758,000 views.
In the video, Graham can be seen touring the cheap flat with an open plan kitchen-living area, two sofa beds and a TV.
The apartment has stunning views of the holiday hotspot, and big open windows.
There is a huge bathroom with a walk in shower, as well as two single beds in an airy bedroom with a balcony.
He also showed a wraparound balcony with multiple pieces of furniture and views of the swimming pool, sea and strip.

Graham captioned the post: 'Take a look at this Benidorm.'
He said: "We always find cheap places.
'The cost of them puts people off but we have stayed in some hotels that cost a fortune and then had a cheap £160-a-week apartment that is a lot better.
"Don't let the price put you off."
He added: "We have stayed in some really rough places too - it's not all good when it's cheap - but 90 per cent of the time they are sound."
His post has received hundreds of comments online with many slamming the apartment for being too noisy.
One user said: 'Ye get no sleep to much noise. Stayed there.'
Another added: 'Poor man's Dubai.'
One even said that when staying there, they couldn't get any sleep.
'I stayed there years ago … no sleep for 4 days," they said.
Meanwhile another user chimed in: 'Stayed there so loud.'

The Spanish resort where Brits 'can't stop cheating' revealed as tourist hotspot is nicknamed 'marriage destroyer'

According to new research, couples should be wary of one Spanish resort which has been dubbed the 'marriage killer' as people are more likely to cheat when they holiday there. A survey carried out by affairs website IllicitEncounters revealed this area is Magaluf. While the town has previously been known for its affordable pints and sun-soaked beaches, the recent research has labelled it the top destination for Brits looking to cheat. For the survey, more than 2,000 users of the site were polled, and asked where there were most likely to travel to if they wanted to be unfaithful. The answer that came top of the list was Magaluf. As a result, IllicitEncounters described the destination as the 'marriage destroyer' of Europe. Jessica Leoni, spokesperson for IllicitEncounters, said: 'Magaluf has been famed for its booze-fuelled breaks for decades, and its popularity with stag and hen-dos is another reason it is still considered a mecca for cheating. Leoni added why she believes the area makes people more likely to be unfaithful. She described the trinity of a sense of freedom, heat, and alcohol all combining to create a holiday romance (or something rather more tawdry). And it's not the case that all cheaters leave their infidelity in Magaluf. According to the majority of those polled (87 per cent) they kept in touch with their affair partner once returning home. When it comes to the cheating capital of the UK, some may be surprised to learn where it is. Last November, Cheltenham was crowned the UK's 'new adultery capital'. According to figures from the annual Infidelity Index data provided by the UK's 'leading affairs site', 6.98 per cent of the town's population reportedly had affairs last year. Not far behind Cheltenham, known for its posh surroundings and four-day horse racing festival, was Farnham, Surrey, with 5.99 per cent of people allegedly cheating on their partners. In third place was Motherwell, Lanarkshire (5.63 per cent), followed by Warwick (5.61 per cent) and Braintree in Essex (5.55 per cent). Elsewhere, 5.36 per cent of the population in Rhyl, Denbighshire were reportedly caught up in affairs, as were 5.35 per cent of people in Borehamwood, Hertfordshire. Towards the bottom of the list were Newbury, Berkshire (5.23 per cent), Frome, Somerset (5.18 per cent) and Wilmslow in Cheshire, (5.12 per cent). Commenting on the Infidelity Index results at the time, sex and relationships expert at Jessica Leoni said: 'While picturesque towns like Cheltenham may seem serene on the surface, data suggests that love lives here are anything but tranquil.' When it comes to the opposite end of the scale, Swindon has been dubbed the UK's 'most faithful town', with only 0.35 per cent reportedly cheating. Close behind are Bracknell, Berkshire (0.36 per cent), Dewsbury, West Yorkshire (0.39 per cent), Castlereagh in County Down (0.44 per cent) and Rotherham, South Yorkshire (0.58 per cent).

BBC: Kneecap's Glastonbury set will not be live streamed but could go on-demand

Kneecap's performance at Glastonbury Festival will not be live-streamed but is likely to be made available on-demand, the BBC has said. A number of British politicians have called for the Irish rap trio to be removed from the line-up and UK prime minister Sir Keir Starmer said their performance would not be 'appropriate' after one of the members was charged with a terror offence. Advertisement A BBC spokesperson said: 'As the broadcast partner, the BBC is bringing audiences extensive music coverage from Glastonbury, with artists booked by the festival organisers. 'While the BBC doesn't ban artists, our plans ensure that our programming meets our editorial guidelines. 'We don't always live-stream every act from the main stages and look to make an on-demand version of Kneecap's performance available on our digital platforms, alongside more than 90 other sets.' It is understood the BBC needs to consider the performance before making a final decision. Advertisement The band said on Instagram: 'The propaganda wing of the regime has just contacted us…. 'They WILL put our set from Glastonbury today on the iPlayer later this evening for your viewing pleasure.' Liam Og O hAnnaidh, 27, was charged with allegedly displaying a flag in support of proscribed terrorist organisation Hezbollah, while saying 'up Hamas, up Hezbollah' at a gig in November last year. On June 18th, the rapper, who performs under the stage name Mo Chara, was cheered by hundreds of supporters as he arrived with bandmates Naoise O Caireallain and JJ O Dochartaigh at Westminster Magistrates' Court in Free Mo Chara T-shirts.

Conservative Party leader Kemi Badenoch said she thinks the BBC 'should not be showing' the group's set. In an X post from last Saturday, she said: 'The BBC should not be showing Kneecap propaganda. 'One Kneecap band member is currently on bail, charged under the Terrorism Act. Advertisement 'As a publicly funded platform, the BBC should not be rewarding extremism.' The Arcadia Dragonfly takes flight to mark the launch of Build The Peace, a new initiative transforming military machines into unifying art across post-conflict zones, during the Glastonbury Festival (Ben Birchall/PA) Ahead of the group's set, an Avon and Somerset Police spokesperson told the PA news agency: 'Ticket-holders can once again expect to see uniformed officers on site at Glastonbury Festival 24/7 throughout the festival as part of our extensive policing operation ensuring it is safe for everyone attending, as well as those who live nearby.' Neil Young, best known for songs such as Rockin' In The Free World, Like A Hurricane and Cinnamon Girl, will headline the festival's Pyramid Stage on Saturday night with his band the Chrome Hearts. The corporation will broadcast Young's set after previously saying it would not be shown 'at the artist's request'. Advertisement Neil Young's set will be televised on the BBC (Isabel Infantes/PA) On Saturday a BBC spokesperson said: 'We are delighted to confirm that Neil Young's headline set from Glastonbury on Saturday will be broadcast live to audiences across the UK on the BBC.' The set will be shown on the BBC iPlayer Pyramid Stage stream from 10pm, as well as broadcast on BBC Two and BBC Radio 2. Another act expected to draw a big crowd is Brat star Charli XCX, who will headline the Other Stage around the same time Young and Grammy Award-winning rapper Doechii will also perform. A person in the crowd waves a sign as the Kaiser Chiefs perform on the Pyramid Stage (Yui Mok/PA) The 1975 headlined the festival's Pyramid Stage on Friday night, with the performance seeing singer Matty Healy joke he was his generation's 'best songwriter'. Friday also saw a performance from Scottish music star Lewis Capaldi who told the Glastonbury crowds 'I'm back baby' as he played a surprise set, two years after a performance at the festival during which he struggled to manage his Tourette syndrome symptoms. Harry Styles was among the stars attending the festival (PA) Celebrities who have been spotted at the festival include singer Harry Styles, Oscar-winning actor Eddie Redmayne and Stranger Things star Joseph Quinn. Friday saw hot dry weather which hardened the Worthy Farm surface after rain in the early hours of the morning, with festival goers expected to see temperatures in the mid-20s on Saturday. The Met Office's Grahame Madge said: 'We anticipate highs of 26C on Saturday, with high levels of humidity. By Monday temperatures can be anticipated to be over 30C. 'There is always the chance of a light shower, but there is nothing in the forecast that suggests anything heavier for Saturday for Somerset.'
