A couple were left in tears while searching for a property in Cyprus on A Place In The Sun.
Married couple Rick and Inge took part in the show with the hope they would find their dream holiday home in Tala, Western Cyprus.
The requirement was that the property had to be a detached villa within the budget of £260,000.
Enlisting host Jean Johansson to help them find the right place, Rick and Igne also listed a ‘mancave’ as an essential item, and wanted a property with plenty of outdoor space as they were planning to adopt cats.
Jean showed the pair five suitable properties that were close to their budget, with the house search off to a good start.
The first property that the couple explored was a three-bedroomed villa, priced at just over £262,000. It featured a pool, patio and artist’s studio as well as a bathroom.
Rick and Inge also liked the rest of the properties, with the fifth one being the couple’s favourite.
Jean knew she had saved the best until last, stating: "I think this could possibly beat the others".
The three-bedroom bungalow comprised a wraparound patio with views of the sea from the house, with a spacious garden and roof terrace too.
While the couple said the property was "just the right size" and "spacious, but cosy", it was priced over budget at £282,000.
Rick and Inge went back and forth over their options, eventually deciding to put an offer in on the property. However, they decided to go £10,000 under the asking price, offering £272,000.
Jean passed on the offer to the vendor, and the trio had to wait to hear back whether it had been accepted or not.
As the seller phoned Jean back, the presenter could be seen looking concerned, as Rick and Inge appeared nervous.
After putting the phone down, she told the couple: "Okay, I have some information for you. The offer... has been accepted."
Upon hearing the good news, Rick burst into tears, as Inge hugged her sobbing husband.
Jean added: "Congratulations, you two have been such great company. I wish you the best of luck".
