Laura Hamilton was reduced to tears after a buyer's gamble on the latest episode of A Place in the Sun. The 40-year-old property guru returned to present Monday's edition of the popular Channel 4 programme.
As reported in the Liverpool Echo, in the most recent show she was showing couple Diane and Gary around five homes in Cyprus as they aimed to find their perfect property abroad. The couple were looking for a two bedroom apartment with a pool in Paphos and had a maximum budget of £140,000.
The search was proving to be tricky as Diane and Gary weren't blown away by the properties on the search. However, Laura saved the best until last as she showed them around a two bed bungalow in Kato Paphos.

The apartment boasted a small courtyard with a huge terrace which had amazing sea views. The property had been on the market for eight months and had been reduced by £20,000 to £144,545.
However, the buyers were hesitant as they revealed they would put in an offer of £125,000. Laura encouraged them to take the gamble and the owners came back with a counter offer of £127,000.
The expert was blown away when the couple continued to barter and went back with an offer of £126,000. Viewers following the show on Twitter were similarly surprised by the gamble. Tina said: "The bargaining is plain insulting now."
Terry added: "Now they're quibbling over £1K?!" Shrimpsy posted: "127, and she wants lower?" Diane and Gary were thrilled when the offer of £126,000 was accepted. The buyers were brought to tears as their dream property was secured - and Laura admitted she was overwhelmed with emotion too. She said: "It's brought me to tears as well. What a property, what a price."
