Graham moved from the UK to create his popular bar Happy Days, which became a huge hit with locals.
He was also the former entertainment manager at Camping Villamar and the drive-time DJ at Fresh Radio.
He was on the reality show for an impressive 10 years, but left the show last year, with his final appearance in April showing him getting a new adorable puppy.
In his statement, Graham announced he was leaving the show, saying he ‘loved every minute’ in particular the Gay Pride parade.
He wrote: ‘Well after 10 years filming Bargain Brits I’ve finally called it a day… I’ve loved every minute.
‘But filming Gay Pride Benidorm was the ultimate day… thank you to all that cheered and shouted my name.
‘I’d just like to say thank you to all the film and production team over the years. We did have a ball… I hope you all enjoyed the journey as much as me.’
