On Monday's episode of A Place in the Sun, Channel 4 viewers were on the edge of their seats as property expert Danni Menzies embarked on a mission to find Colin and Janet's dream home on the picturesque Eastern Algarve in Portugal.
The couple, who were eager to start a new life abroad, had a clear vision in mind - a charming property with an abundance of natural light, spacious rooms, and breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape. However, as the show progressed, fans were left distracted by an unusual habit that Colin exhibited during the viewing of each property.
Despite his enthusiasm for the properties, Colin couldn't help but inspect every nook and cranny, meticulously checking for any signs of wear and tear. While this might seem like a prudent approach to buying a home, fans were puzzled by his fixation on seemingly minor details.
As the day wore on, Danni presented Colin and Janet with a selection of properties that ticked all their boxes. From a stunning villa with an infinity pool to a beautifully restored farmhouse, each property seemed to mesmerize the couple. However, as they weighed the pros and cons of each option, Colin's unusual habit became increasingly apparent.
Fans took to social media to express their confusion, with one viewer commenting, 'Why is he so obsessed with checking the taps?' Another viewer quipped, 'I've never seen anyone inspect a property like that before!' As the show neared its climax, it became clear that Colin's habit was more than just a quirk - it was a deal-breaker.
In a shocking twist, Colin turned to Danni and confessed that the property they were currently viewing was a 'step too far.' Stunned by his admission, Danni asked him to elaborate, and Colin revealed that his concerns about the property's maintenance costs had finally gotten the better of him.
As the couple continued their search for the perfect home, fans were left reeling from the unexpected turn of events. Would Colin and Janet finally find their dream home, or would their search end in disappointment? Only time would tell, but one thing was certain - Colin's unusual habit had added a new layer of complexity to their property search.
