Why A Place in the Sun Presenters Never Film Together: Ben Hillman Reveals

The Inside Scoop

Ben Hillman, the Channel 4 presenter of A Place in the Sun, has finally set the record straight on why viewers never see the show's hosts filming together. Despite sharing the screen on the hit property show since 2016, each presenter fronts their own individual episodes. In an exclusive interview with The Celeb Report Online, Ben explained the reasons behind this arrangement.

Mixed Angles and Expertise

According to Ben, filming all the presenters together could lead to a "wonderfully messy" situation. Each host brings a unique perspective to the show, with different angles of expertise and diverse life experiences. With their own opinions on the right way to handle property and personal preferences, trying to collaborate might result in chaos. As Ben put it, "too many cooks" spoil the broth.

Individual Dreams

While Ben has no plans to leave A Place in the Sun, he admits that every presenter dreams of having their own standalone show. Drawing from his background in design and construction, Ben expressed his desire to have his very own programme. Building his own house and exploring unique themes on his show is something he would thoroughly enjoy.

Behind the Scenes Selection

Ben also shed some light on the selection process for potential properties featured on A Place in the Sun. Before he arrives at the location, the production team is on the ground, carefully evaluating numerous houses. They narrow down the choices, and Ben works closely with them to finalize the line-up. However, there are always additional options lined up in case unexpected changes in direction occur during filming, ensuring flexibility and spontaneity.
