Even if you have no plans to escape to another country yourself, Channel 4's A Place in the Sun offers us all the chance to daydream about what it would be like to buy a property abroad, providing buckets of inspiration along the way.
But if you're a fan of the popular show and its spin-off series A Place in the Sun: Home or Away?, how much do you know about the current hosts of the show?
Jasmine Harman
2004 - present
Jasmine has recorded more episodes of A Place in the Sun – Home or Away than any other presenter of the show. She's obviously popular as since she joined the show in 2004 ratings have more than doubled and it is now broadcast in Europe, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa.
She enjoys boxercise, salsa and Savante, and has been a vegetarian for 30 years.
Ben Hillman
2015 - present
Ben is one busy man! As well as presenting A Place in the Sun for Channel 4, he runs his own interior design business in Brighton and Hove and the South East.
He has recently completed his own self-build project in Brighton, facelifting a tired 1970's purpose-built block of flats and adding a new penthouse apartment on the flat roof.
Danni Menzies
2016 - present
Danni loves nothing more than being up to her knees in mud surrounded by the beautiful countryside.
Property development is truly a family affair for Danni and from an early age, she was involved with her family business, which grew from a caravan park and old farm buildings set on a 120 acre estate to nearly 50 buy-to-let holiday houses, a golf course, riding stables, a bar, restaurant and delicatessen.
Jonnie Irwin
2004 - present
In 2004, Jonnie was selected from hundreds of applicants along with co-presenter Jasmine to present A Place in the Sun – Home or Away.

A presenter for the show since 2011, Laura has a keen eye for a bargain, and passion for property renovation and interior design.
