A Place in the Sun host apologises after making 'terrible' comment

A Place in the Sun host Ben Hillman made an apology to buyers after a making a bad joke during Wednesday's episode.

Ben was on the West Coast of Tenerife, where he was helping former RAF serviceman Del and his wife Diane find their ideal holiday home. The couple were looking for somewhere to spend the winter months and were looking for somewhere big enough for family to be able to come and stay.

With a budget of £120,000, Ben had lined up five properties for them to take a look around.

First up was a two-bedroom apartment with a balcony and a separate fitted kitchen. It was on the market for £135,000, and while Del and Diane agreed it was nice, they were apprehensive about how much work it needed.

Property number two, which had a communal pool and a sun terrace, and was listed at almost £20,000 less, was much more promising. Del and Diane immediately said it was a contender, after it was "love at first sight".

Next, Ben took the couple to the town of Guía de Isora to view the third property. He said: “We’ve come up the hill to Guía de Isora", before adding: "Have you been here before-ah?”

As Del and Diane remained silent, Ben replied: “Sorry that was terrible, wasn’t it?”
