Channel 4's A Place in the Sun viewers beg 'stop' as buyers go upstairs

A Place in the Sun host Jasmine Harman was busy trying to impress potential buyers Debbie and Guy during Tuesday's episode.

The week's second edition of the Channel 4 show saw the presenter joined by house-hunters in the Charente region of Western France. The couple were looking for their perfect forever home, with a budget of £135,000.

They wanted a property where they could set up a rural holiday rental business. But Jasmine wasn't off to the best start, as Debbie and Guy quickly ruled out the first home she showed them.

Debbie said the property, a two-bedroom house in Pers, didn't have a big enough kitchen. She said she'd have to "knock walls through" and the couple were not prepared to do that much work.

Fortunately for Jasmine, the next home was much more to their liking. Debbie and Guy perused a three-bedroom home in Saulgond which consisted of the main house and an attached barn which could be converted into a gite.

It had a bigger kitchen which opened to the living space, as well as a log burner and stunning wooden beams. While the barn needed work, Debbie and Guy were clearly happy with the property.

Listed at just over £121,000, viewers at home agreed it was "great value for money" and "huge for the price" on social media. However, as they went upstairs fans of the show were taken aback.

The stairs opened directly onto the master bedroom, which had a huge bed and, beside it, a bath. Guy joked: "You've put a swimming pool in the bedroom?", and Debbie said: "I'm not sure how I feel about me being in bed while Guy's in the bath".

Viewers also quickly shared their opinions. Gemma said: "I was sold until the bath next to the bed. NEXT". Mostlystupid said: Stop. Putting. Baths. In. Bedrooms. This is a house, not a love hotel", while Ange said: "Really find having the bath in the bedroom annoying! Why do that?!"
