A Place in the Sun presenter Jean Johansson was left with her head in her hands after potential buyers hinted at a difficult search.
The Scots property expert sought out five stunning holiday homes in Gran Canaria for Ryan and Steve but was left asking the couple if it would be a 'difficult search'. The couple, from London, were on the lookout for a one or two-bedroom apartment in the Canary Islands and came armed with a maximum budget of £180,000.
The Glasgow-born TV presenter was tasked with finding Ryan and Steve their dream home in Maspalomas, while they were keen to be near the LGBTQ hotspots as well as the stunning beach. Ryan confirmed he had never visited the area, while Steve had travelled there before and fallen in love with the region.
Discussing their ideal property with Jean, Steve revealed he would be replacing all the interior of any property they ended up buying. This prompted Jean to ask Ryan: "Is this going to be a difficult search?"
Ryan was in hysterics as he told Jean it would be, which prompted the host to put her head in her hands. She added: "This is going to be a fun search, I can tell."
The buyers were fans of the majority of homes on the search but particularly loved the final property, which was priced at just below £176,000. The couple were delighted when Jean confirmed their offer for the apartment in Playa del Ingles had been accepted for £162,000.
Viewers took to Twitter as the episode aired and noted the apartments seemed a lot smaller than you'd expect for that kind of price. One wrote: "155 ouch #aplaceinthesun."
"Don’t get much for your money in Gran Canaria do you?! #APlaceInTheSun," said another. A third joked: "Adorable isn't the word I'd use.... detention centre would be nearer the mark #aplaceinthesun."
A fourth penned: "My hallway is bigger than that! #aplaceinthesun," and someone else echoed: "I knew these properties would be grim today. £150k buys you naff all in the Canaries #APlaceInTheSun."
