Channel 4 A Place in the Sun's Jean Johansson taken aback by buyer's harsh criticism

Jean Johansson was taken aback by a buyer's extreme reaction on A Place in the Sun.

Currina hoped to find a suitable holiday home on Spain's northern Costa Calida. She enlisted the help of her best friend Tracey and Channel 4's Jean to make the search as perfect as possible.

With a budget of £65,000 the buyer requested a property that was either a townhouse or an apartment with a balcony and a minimum of two bedroom.. She also hoped for a pool and for the home to be not too far from the beach.

But the friends seemed hard to please. With a low end budget and a big list of demands, finding a dream home wasn't as easy as they had hoped.

After viewing the first two properties, the buyers were less than impressed. But on the third holiday home, Tracey made her feelings clear in an abrupt and harsh way.

The property expert was not expecting the rather brutal criticism she received after showing Currina and her friend around a modern looking apartment with two double bedrooms and a shower room. Tracey was speechless as she walked into the first room.

Jean noticed right away that this was a bad sign and she said: "Oh no, Tracey's gone quiet." Tracey replied: "I really hate it. I don't like it at all."

The host covered her mouth in shock before she said: "Hate is a strong word." Tracey added: "I could not live here. I couldn't even stay for a short period, I don't think. It's soulless."

Deflated by the critique, Jean admitted she had gotten the property "totally wrong". She said: "I thought Currina was going to love this.

"This puts me under pressure as to where to take you next. I was not expecting that."
