A Place In The Sun host reveals 'really hard' part of job and the two things they can't wear

A Place In The Sun presenter has revealed the less glamorous side of her job.

The Channel 4 show helps prospective buyers find their dream homes abroad. Scarlette Douglas, 38, first appeared on the property programme in 2015, offering her expertise to numerous house hunters.

Despite visiting various locations and meeting a wide range of people, the job isn't always as easy as it seems.

Scarlett told The Express that working on A Place In The Sun is actually "really hard", with five days of filming squeezed into one "47-minute show."

She also revealed two items that presenters are not allowed to wear, reports Leicestershire Live.

"There's a lot that goes into it. It's hard graft," the property expert admitted. She added: "You can't wear sunglasses or a hat."

The host confessed: "You just about have time to drink some water. You keep going and going and going, so as much as it looks glamorous, it's actually a really difficult show."

Scarlette said goodbye to A Place In The Sun in 2022 and has since featured on another property show, Worst House On The Street.

The Channel 4 series sees property developers Scarlette and Stuart Douglas, who are siblings, helping people revamp their family homes without breaking the bank.

Another A Place In The Sun host, Jasmine Harman, 49, has also shared her experiences from the show. She has been a property expert on the Channel 4 programme since 2004.

The property expert, who has been on the programme since 2004, recalled a bout of motion sickness during a microlight plane ride in the Algarve.

"We were flying and he was doing all these little tricks and I got a bit of motion sickness and started to feel a bit dodgy. I kept telling myself, 'I'll be alright, I'll be alright,'" she told the Express.

However, upon landing, Jasmine felt 'so sick' that she ended up vomiting inside her helmet. "I ended up vomiting inside the helmet. And it was so embarrassing.

"In front of the house hunters and this handsome pilot. The whole team."

She described the incident as "an awful moment" and noted that "everyone was there," but now she can look back and laugh at the experience.

A Place In The Sun airs weekdays on Channel 4 and is available to stream on channel4.com.
