Jean and her colleagues in alternating episodes provide the couples with useful information about buying and running properties in the specific area.
Speaking to The Sun’s TV Mag, Jean addressed how she and her fellow presenters pick the perfect outfits for the warm climates they work in.

“Viewers can never get a sense of how hot it is! We are so good at dabbing ourselves down and hiding sweat patches!

“Being stylish comes second to not melting in the sun!”
