A Place in The Sun got emotional when a guest struggled to hold back tears on the show, when property expert Jasmine Harman took her on a tour around a charming cottage in western France.
In today’s episode on Channel 4 (March 2) Larraine and Gary were looking for a traditional home in rural Charente with a separate annex where they could host paying guests.
The first house, a four-bedroom property with heaps of room, drew a complete blank, with the couple finding it dreary and lacking in character and warmth.
Jasmine hit the jackpot with the third property, a traditional cottage with shuttered windows and rose bushes in the garden, and Larraine started to well up in tears before even stepping inside.

Trying to contain her emotions, Larraine says: “This is… Woah. I need a moment.”
“It’s the experience of coming here and looking at dreams you’ve dreamt of for the last 10 or 15 years,” she explained, looking at the pretty cottage nestled in its garden.
Gary adds: “We were quite emotional about the last property we saw and now if there are as many surprises in this one as there was in the last one we’re going to have a real dilemma.”

The cottage is even more impressive inside, with high ceilings, tiled floors, and plenty of original features t give it charm.
Even Jasmine seemed quite taken with the adorable cottage, posting a photo of herself standing outside it on Twitter during filming in August 2020.
She tweeted: “Feeling quite at home in this lovely little character cottage!
“Full of traditional features, half an acre of land, 2 bedrooms, gîte for renovation! You’ll never guess how much!”

Larraine and Gary saw a couple more houses with Jasmine, but their hearts were with the cosy cottage and they put down an offer of €92,000 (£83,000) – which was accepted.
This time, Larraine didn’t hold back the tears and let them flow freely as Gary whipped out some tissues for her.
She said: “Honestly it’s such a dream and I can’t wait to sign the dotted line. This a moment in time that only opens once
“I’m trying hard to control my emotions.”
