FANS have been left wondering if Les/Lesley Conroy's past will finally catch up with him on Benidorm.

But what has he done? And will he be arrested? Here is the FULL lowdown...

Why is Les/Lesley Conroy in trouble on Benidorm?

In series 9 the lovable Solana Hotel transvestite left Benidorm to deal with "a bit of business" back in the UK.

When he/she returned to Spain at the beginning of Series 9 he revealed he had fled the country as he was wanted for tax evasion.

Les/Lesley wants to settle back into their life at the Solana - but is his past about to catch up with him?

Will Les/Lesley be arrested?

Throughout the series producers have teased that Les/Lesley will be arrested for his tax evasion.

It all started when undercover cops Dennis and Nigel, played by comedians Hale and Pace, turned up at the Solana Hotel.

Not wanting to miss out on a free holiday, the two policeman decided to wait a week before arresting the drag queen, with Lesley becoming increasing suspicious of them.

In a sneak peek from tonight's show viewers see the cops getting ready to swoop on the Solana barmaid.

Noticing them acting suspiciously the clip ended with Lesley putting up a sign to say the bar was closed - could she about to do a runner?

He returned for this latest series after being forced to quit midway through series 9.

One of the show's writers Darren Litten told of how Tim, 66, was brought back from the dead during emergency surgery.

Darren told Cool FM Spain: "They operated on Tim and it didn't go well at all.

"He died. He flat lined. They had to resuscitate him. He was in intensive care for a month."
