A Place in the Sun star Danni Menzies reveals secret off-screen trick to deal with fussy house hunters
DANNI Menzies has divulged what really happens on A Place in the Sun when house-hunters are left unimpressed with the homes they are shown on the show.
The TV presenter, who quit the show last year, has admitted producers have back-up options in place if things are not going to plan.
A Place in the Sun features a set of house-hunters searching fro their dream home overseas but it sometimes does not go exactly to plan.
Some potential buyers are even left that disappointed they cut the house tours short, something Danni always aims to avoid.
The popular TV star admitted it can get 'difficult' when buyers choose to not view the full property on offer.
Danni said: "It’s tough because you never know what people are going to love or what they're not going to love and priorities always change drastically.

"They're on location and you're seeing things in real life, so you think you want one thing and then you get there and something else becomes more important."
Revealing more about the back-up options available, Channel 4 presenter Danni added to the Express that there is often a late-night scramble to shake-up filming plans
She admitted: "We cut to the house hunters when we are viewing a property, but we try to kind of predict what they might think or say or a feel where we actually see it.
"We have the properties you see on the show but we also have a backup selection as well. There is sometimes a scramble to change how we film things in order to do the best by the house hunters.

"Sometimes we have some good back-ups and sometimes we have to make some phone calls late at night."
However in contrast, the star also confirmed she equally gets nervous if a pair love every single property and finds it odd and off-putting if they can't find anything they dislike.
Danni revealed: "If they like all five properties, it’s like, ‘Are you taking this seriously?’ Because you can’t love everything.
"I find it okay if they don’t like a couple but if you get to property three and they don’t like one of those, then you start to panic a bit and you're like, 'Oh, God, are we doing it right?'"
Having quit the popular property programme, Danni will next appear in Channel 5 reality TV series The Challenge UK.
She will appear alongside Geordie Shore star Nathan Henry, brothers AJ and Curtis Pritchard and Dancing on Ice's Joey Essex.
