A Place in the Sun's Laura Hamilton warns 'don't say that' to host as she talks future

TV presenter Laura Hamilton made a quick warning to a host who commented on the frequency of A Place in the Sun's reruns.

The beloved property show, which follows families as they hunt for their dream homes abroad, has been a staple of Channel 4's programming since its debut in 2002, spanning 20 series.

Laura joined the as one of the programme's presenters in 2012. Now, appearing on Johnny Seifert's Secure the Insecure podcast, Laura discussed the "massive honour" of presenting on the show.

She said: “I do feel a massive sense of belonging to A Place in the Sun. It’s great, it’s Channel 4’s second longest-running show alongside Countdown, I think. And to have been part of it for as long as I have, I’d say it’s like a safety net but it’s not, because nothing’s safe in telly and you don’t know what’s going to happen next. But yeah, to be part of that has been a massive honour.”

Host Johnny later brought up recent reports about Channel 4's financial struggles, including plans to cut 200 jobs and sell its London headquarters. Despite these challenges, Johnny reassured viewers that they could still catch A Place in the Sun if they tuned in 'for an hour'.

He added: "It is so part of the schedule that it would be a weird place without it. Even with the repeats, it's absolutely fine because you think of Channel 4 and you think of A Place in the Sun."

However, Laura quickly responded: "Don't say that! We want new episodes to come out."

Johnny responded: "Well, you do want the new episodes to come out, but it's so part of that schedule. It's so integral that you can't imagine Channel 4 without A Place in the Sun."

A Place in the Sun airs tonight at 5.35pm on Channel 4.
