A Place in the Sun viewers 'faint' amid £350,000 'plot twist' at start of new episode

A Place in the Sun viewers were gobsmacked at the start of today's episode.

Craig Rowe was helping Ken and Lesley find their dream home abroad on Thursday's edition of the popular Channel 4 programme. The married couple were looking for a two bedroom property with enough outside space for their dog.

Ken and Lesley were looking for a home on the Caribbean Island and had a maximum budget of £350,000. Episodes of A Place in the Sun mainly centre around couples searching for properties in European hotspots.

Viewers following the show on Twitter were taken aback by the far flung location of today's property search and impressive budget.

John said: "In today's new episode! Craig Rowe is jetting off to the stunning Caribbean Island of Barbados for Ken & Lesley with a £350k budget. Ooh exciting afternoon placers"

@onlyher08591011 tweeted, alongside a "plot twist" gif: "Afternoon placers, The Caribbean and a budget of £350k it is then."

Sarah added: "A fantastic budget and it’s not in Spain. Excuse me whilst I go and faint!!"

Tubbs commented : "Barbados? What happened to the Spanish grotty pads we know and love?"

Ricker posted: "Barbados, what sorcery is this"

The buyers were wowed by the fourth property on the hunt. The three-bed apartment in St James was priced at £365,672 and boasted a double garage and palm tree filled garden.

Ken and Lesley decided to put in a bid of £330,000, but the owner needed time to mull it over as they had received multiple bids for the property.
