A Place in the Sun promises to banish those April showers by bringing a ray of sunshine into your front rooms this spring with 30 brand-new episodes of the Channel 4 hit series.

 

Presenter and Property Developer Lee Juggurnauth will make his debut appearance this season as he joins our team of property experts to help house-hunters find their dream holiday homes. 

 

The 34-year-old expert is no stranger to the entertainment world, having previously worked in music as an artist manager for some of the biggest names in the industry, before carving out a successful career as a Property Developer. Lee has worked all over the world, creating beautiful homes for his clients, and with a passion for interior design, Lee is the perfect addition to our incredible team.

 

Lee said, “I'm so excited to be joining Channel 4's A Place in the Sun. After recently celebrating its 21st birthday, I'm honoured to be working on such a prestigious show alongside an incredible team. I can’t wait to help house hunters turn their dream into a reality.”

 

Lee’s first assignment is to head to the vibrant city of Gandia in Spain to help Dabi and Devi. Gandia is Spain’s last-remaining coastal secret with one of the best beaches in the country and what’s more, it’s conveniently located for a commute into Valencia City, making it the perfect location for the couple. Can Lee pull out all the stops and use his creative know how to find them their very own slice of Spanish paradise?

 

For the rest of the team, Jasmine, Jean, Jonnie, Danni, Laura, Ben and Scarlette, will be jetting off to sunnier shores. From the beautiful Kassandra Peninsula in the north of Greece, the whitewashed towns and villages, of Almeria, to the to the peace and quiet of the French countryside in West Brittany, our presenters will leave no stone unturned in their quest to find our house-hunters their very own Place in the Sun.
