A Place in the Sun's Laura Hamilton was left mortified as buyers refused to enter a four-bedroom house during Thursday's instalment of the programme.
The Channel 4 show once again saw potential buyers shown around a number of properties abroad. This week's fourth instalment of the programme saw Janine and Mark searching for a holiday home in the Western Dordogne region of France.
Going halves with Mark's mum, they collectively had a budget of £230,000, and wanted somewhere with plenty of space that the whole family could enjoy.

Laura's first offering was a four-bedroom house in La Négrerie. On the market for just over £204,000, it had almost an acre of land, and a private swimming pool.
But Mark and Janine felt it was "too dark" and had "no character". And on entering its annex, Janine immediately said: "I don't like it. It's just a box", and the two walked out.
Thankfully, things improved as the show went on. After seeing a number of homes, Janine and Mark were keen on a three-bedroom house in Saint-Géraud-de-Corps. It had its own swimming pool, patio and lounging area to the front, as well as a garden and a large garage.
When Laura took the pair to property number five, Mark and Janine didn't want to look inside. Mark was put off by it being near a main road, while Janine said: "I don't want to like it, I like [property number four]".
Trying to persuade them, Laura told the couple its price. She said: "It has just over an acre of land, and it's on the market for just over £193,000. Does that change things for you?". Janine replied: "No."
The pair put in an offer on the four-bedroom home in Saint-Géraud-de-Corps, but as it was more than £20,000 below the asking price, it was refused. But after upping their bid, they were successful in buying the home.
