While she revealed the show helped sell a lot more homes in the new series than the last, there were still a few guests who were unhappy with the properties they were shown.

She told : "[In the new series] There's definitely a few that we got to and they were just like ‘Oh no’.

“One of them was in Portugal and we looked at a property and it was huge. They were getting so much for their money, but it wasn't in the right place.

"We looked around but by the time we got to the front door and they were ‘Oh but it’s massive and it looks beautiful oh we’ll go inside’ but we got to the first room and they were like ‘This isn’t working.'”

The show sees guests visit five properties in an episode, and Danni admits they are never going to like all of them.

She explained that as well as finding properties within a guest's budget you have to: "kind of push people a little bit and maybe show them something they wouldn't have necessarily looked at themselves.

“And actually, sometimes that really pays off and they go ‘Oh god I didn't even think of that, that's perfect,' but they're never going to love all five of them.

“We usually have something in the mix that will kind of push what they were thinking and that can either really pay off, they will absolutely love it or absolutely hate it.”
