A Place In The Sun fans were left worried for a presenter’s safety after watching him brought to the brink of tears on Wednesday’s episode.
Ben Hillman sparked concern after the fans of the Channel 4 show watched him struggle to fulfil the criteria of house hunters Deb and Steve.
The couple, who were both retiring, were looking for their forever home in Roquetas de Mar in Almeria Province, Spain.
Despite putting his best foot forward and scoping out a variety of gorgeous homes, Ben clashed with Deb over houses, locations and prices.
The soon-to-be retired Deb and the host of the show started out on the wrong foot after she cut the viewing of the first property short.
The gorgeous home was up for sale for £150,000, but before Deb had even stepped foot through the front door she decided she didn’t want to see any more because she disliked the area.

Things took a turn for the worst when the couple then cut short a second house viewing, deciding it wasn’t for them.
Deb immediately told host Ben she didn’t like the house as he sighed, disappointed.
She explained: ‘There is not enough natural light in here. It needs too much doing, and I don’t like the outside or the lounge.’
After two failed property viewings Ben admitted they hadn’t got off to the best start and things only went downhill from there as the Steve and Deb rejected Ben’s other four offers.
After the fourth viewing, Ben exclaimed: ‘I am just going to go and have a little weep.’
Things began to look up after he showed the couple a fifth property, with Deb initially convinced, but she quickly changed her tune after seeing the red kitchen.
In the end Deb and Steve decided they didn’t like any of the houses on offer and Ben was left dejected.
And fans took to social media to share their concern over the presenter after his disastrous episode.

And fans took to social media to share their concern over the presenter after his disastrous episode
Jean Johansson met with John and Maxine from Durham, who were on the hunt for a property in Cyprus with a budget of £150,000.
But she was unable to find the pair a holiday home after a series of unsuccessful viewings and a rejected offer.
First up was an apartment that was £10,000 below budget, but Maxine was left disappointed at the awful view.
The fourth property was another ‘deal breaker’ for Maxine who didn’t even stay to look at all the rooms, while a fifth priced at £172,000 was also not right.
After some consideration Maxine and John decided to put an offer in for the third property.
They offered £140,000 for the £157,000 townhouse, which was rejected.
The seller then offered them a counteroffer of £155,000, but the couple came back with £144,000, which ended up being declined.

Sharing their thoughts on social media fans of the show wrote: ’17k lowball is taking the p*** #aplaceinthesun’;
‘Still 13k under offer – can’t have wanted it that much with a 150k budget. Knew they weren’t buying.’
After seeing a visible air conditioning unit and water tank from the balcony, Maxine said: ‘It’s not good, is it? It is a deal breaker for me.’
Next they went to look at a ‘bargain’ townhouse priced at £120,000 and a third that was listed slightly over budget at £157,000.
