A Place in the Sun pulled from daytime as it bags prime time slot in huge Channel 4 schedule shake-up

A PLACE in the Sun has bagged a brand new prime time slot in Channel 4's latest schedule shake-up.

The broadcaster has given the long-running property series a brand new place in its schedule.

A Place in the Sun will air its spin-off series What Happened Next in January, which checks in with the Brits who took the plunge and relocated to sunnier climates.

Each presenter will revisit the house-hunters and find out if their dream of living abroad was what they expected.

The series has also been given a primetime slot by Channel 4 bosses, airing at 6:45pm on Sunday, January 7th.

The special series comes as A Place in the Sun celebrates a whopping 23 years on air.

We can also reveal former host Amanda Lamb will reprise her role for the new series, over a decade after departing the show.

Previously speaking about the show, executive producer Michelle Heeley previously told The Mirror newspaper: "It’s been wonderful to re-visit these house-hunters who are thriving in their new homes in the sun. We are immensely proud to have helped change so many people's lives...

"It’s a testament to all the hard work our production team and presenters have put in over the past 23 years. I can’t wait for viewers to see what happens next."

The Sun recently revealed how the show will get a sexy shake-up for its new run.

Show stalwarts Jasmine Harman, 48, and Laura Hamilton, 41, will don bikinis.

Refreshed opening titles will see the beauties along with Danni Menzies in eye-popping sexy scenes.

The men will also be stripping down as the presenters ride horses in the sea, jet ski and lounge around the pool in tropical locations.
