A local couple, Philip Hicks and Paula Kirk, hailing from Keadby, are preparing to share their search for a dream holiday home in Spain on Channel 4’s beloved show, A Place In The Sun. The episode is due to be broadcast at 6pm on Wednesday, October 22, and captures their quest for a perfect property in the region of Barcelona. To maintain viewer suspense, the couple have chosen not to disclose the outcome of their search.
Lifelong residents of North Lincolnshire, they describe their TV experience as ‘outstanding’ and lament not having undertaken this journey sooner. The recording was conducted earlier in 2023, with host Laura Hamilton guiding the couple through the process. The couple commended the genuine and authentic aspects of the show, emphasising the reality of the property search and the negotiations.
Philip, a staunch supporter of FC Barcelona, has visited the city numerous times in the last 30 years and was persuaded by his family to take part in the programme. They were chosen for the show after a comprehensive application process, followed by a screen test in London, marking it as a significant milestone in their lives.
The anticipation is mounting among the residents of North Lincolnshire, with the couple’s dentist demonstrating a keen interest in the episode. The experience of Philip and Paula serves as a testament to the charm of Spanish properties and the exclusive opportunities provided by TV shows such as A Place In The Sun.
