A Place in the Sun’s Scarlette Douglas lost for words as buyers storm out halfway through property tour

A PLACE in the Sun viewers were left gobsmacked after one house-hunting couple stormed out during a viewing.

The episode’s presenter Scarlette Douglas was lost for words after she introduced the spouses to a potential future home.

Married couple Matt and Laura had joined Scarlette on the Channel 4 show in search of the perfect home abroad.

Their location of choice was Tuscany, in the Italian countryside.

Matt and Laura explained that they had a healthy £180,000 budget, and were hoping to find a home with stunning views and plenty of space.

They wanted it to be a gorgeous relaxing place that their grown up children could come to visit them at.

Things started off well for the couple, as Scarlette took them to a see a large three bedroom porperty.

It was a farmhouse, which had a modern kitchen and a huge open-plan living area, and on the market for just under £170,000.

However, things soon changed as they viewed the third property to Scarlette’s list.

Despite having a whopping four bedrooms and gorgeous views, the property wasn’t up to the couple’s standards.

Firstly, it was slightly over-budget at £187,500, but it wasn’t the price which bothered them.

Scarlette said to the spouses: “I am sensing that you’re not as elated as you were with the previous one.”

Matt replied: “The location is a little bit of an issue.

“It feels like you come off some very remote roads, down a remote track into the woods.

“It just feels very disconnected.”

Laura agreed, adding that if this were to be a permanent move for them it might be better suited, but that they were only looking for a holiday home.

Scarlette asked them if they were keen to keep looking for another home, but they bluntly decided they’d had enough of the house hunt.

Matt said: “I think we’ve probably drawn a line on this one.”

Laura added: “The house is lovely, but it’s location. So I think it will be a no,” before walking off-camera.

Viewers weren’t impressed with the couple and took to social media to share their thoughts.

One wrote: “Urgh I tuned in for a pair of messers.

“Back to the pebble dash. Until next time Placer Pals!”

As another said about Matt: “He’ll never make his mind up… or by the time he has, someone will have got there before him.”
