BBC viewers are preparing to pack up their bags and move to Spain to snap up a home renovated by Amanda Holden and Alan Carr with a purse-friendly price tag.
Earlier this year, the presenting duo took on their latest project for Amanda and Alan’s Spanish Job: a derelict three-bedroom property in the historic village of Moclín in Granada.
The Britain’s Got Talent judge, 54, and Alan, 48, had their work cut out as the home had been uninhabited for 35 years, but they succeeded in transforming the property with a Moorish-themed interior design.
Now, potential buyers can purchase the pad on Rightmove for €245,000 (£206,000). That is nearly £90,000 less than the cost of the average UK home, which stands at £293,000 as of August 2024, according to the latest government figures.
The proceeds from the house will be split equally between charities Comic Relief and BBC Children in Need.
The glamorous home boasts a terrace complete with sunbeds, an opulent bar, a generous-sized kitchen with a tiled island and a large primary suite, making it a touch more opulent than similar offerings in the UK.
On Instagram, TV fans were shocked by the price, with @larajoannajarvis declaring: ‘Take my money.’
Echoing their sentiment, @griffiths.kaflin exclaimed: ‘Look what we could get in Spain?!’
A dumbfounded @zaine_sta_gram commented: ‘Can you believe this is cheaper than our property?’
Many also described the home as ‘stunning’, including @eliliabal, who said: ‘Gorgeous, loved watching the renovation process.’
Agreeing, @ritamillat wrote: ‘What a stunning property.’
@ursula.romero.arte added: ‘Looks marvellous.’
Last month, Amanda and Alan came under fire after the No Holding Back author revealed they took nearly 30 flights in seven months to film Spanish Job.
The admission came weeks after the BBC unveiled its climate pledge to be net carbon zero by 2050.
She told the This Is Entertainment podcast: ‘We started the Spanish job in March and we finished it in September. I think we made 28 flights in total, so we were absolutely shattered and I broke at least four sets of nails.
‘We fly out backwards and forwards; obviously I’ve got other jobs that I do, so does Alan. So we will fly out for three days, come back and do the other work, and fly out ten days later.’
Viewers expressed their disappointment over the number of flights taken for the show, with some calling it a ‘disgrace.’
‘Absolutely disgraceful. I do not want my money spent on flying rich celebrities around the world!’ Michelle wrote on Facebook, while Alan commented: ‘And they call that entertainment. An utter disgrace.’
‘Why am I not surprised!! They should be ashamed of themselves,’ Tracy remarked, as Shirley stated: ‘Shame on them and I wouldn’t watch that programme at all.’
A BBC spokesperson previously told Metro: ‘For Amanda & Alan’s Spanish Job, Amanda Holden and Alan Carr were required to fly back to the UK during breaks in filming for other work commitments.
‘The series is certified by Bafta Albert, which encourages sustainable TV and film production, confirming that all efforts were made to reduce carbon emissions through all aspects of the production.
‘The construction crew was sourced locally and crew members who travelled from the UK were mostly based in Spain for the duration of their contracts.’
Amanda and Alan’s Spanish Job is available to stream on BBC iPlayer.
