A Place in the Sun’s Jonnie Irwin mocked by viewers for ‘half-finished property’ as buyer exclaims: ‘Oh my God!’
A PLACE in the Sun's Jonnie Irwin was mocked by viewers for presenting a 'half-finished property' on the show.
As the host introduced the Spanish home, the buyer exclaimed: 'Oh my God!'
On Wednesday's episode Jonnie was tasked with finding Alison her dream sunshine home with her £70,000 budget.
Alison was joined by her best friend Theresa for support, but neither were impressed when Jonnie showed them the very first property.
Standing outside to introduce them to the house, Jonnie said: "Now you know how you said you'd like to have something fairly rural?"
Alison replied: "Yes, feels a little remote for me I would say."
"I'll take that on board," commented the presenter. "But what you get for being more in the sticks is peace, tranquillity..."
And while he described it as "compact and bijou", Alison observed that it was "very small."
But things went from bad to worse as the trio went indoor.
Entering the property, both Alison and Theresa gasped: "On my God" at the basic living space.
Alison went on to admit there were some aspects of the dark-beamed property she liked, but drew the line at the "odd" mezzanine level.
Overall they left the property knowing they would not be coming back for a second visit.
One viewer wrote on Twitter: "So what are they calling this property? Looks half finished! #aplaceinthesun".
Another added: "Jonnie says it needs some work, that’s estate agent speak for it’s a tip, apart from being isolated :wink: #APlaceInTheSun".
"I've seen better cow sheds #aplaceinthesun," said a third.
Luckily all was not lost and Alison went on to buy the third and final property.
A Place in the Sun airs weekdays at 3pm on Channel 4.
