Taking to her X(formerly Twitter) account on Wednesday, Leah confirmed that she's been filming her latest A Place in the Sun episode in sunny Malaga - worlds away from the depressingly cold and damp British weather.
Alongside videos of herself and the camera crew, Leah penned: "Some #behindthescenes clips from my hot property filming of #aplaceinthesun today… I’m near Marbella.”
The Channel 4 star also teased: "Currently filming a new episode... I’ve loads more in the bank, too. Hopefully new series soon."
Fans of the property series were delighted to be welcoming the star back on the show but one viewer complained that she hadn't had enough screen time lately.

Yesterday she wrote: "The birth place of my father. The land my grandparents were laid to rest.
"Reppin St Andrew, #Grenada is my very own #aplaceinthesun and today it celebrates its 50th anniversary of independence. Congratulations to the Spice Isle! #puregrenada #grenada50."
Alongside the heartfelt tribute, Leah posted a carousel of snaps of herself living her best life in the sunshine.
In one snap she took to the beach in a bright floral dress, displaying her fondness for the Caribbean island.

The TV personality also previously mentioned to that St Lucia - where her late grandmother hailed from - has a special place in her heart.
She explained: "Whenever I was feeling particularly triggered or down or depressed, my granny would just say: 'Just get here, Leah. If you can get here, I'll take care of the rest,' and so that's what I would do.
"There were times where I was on my knees. I felt like I was crawling through life on the floor [but when] I would speak to her, she would just say, 'Let's just get you here.'
"When I got there, and that sunshine hit me when I got off the plane, and I'd see her smiling face at the airport going to wait for me... that will always be a happy place for me."
