A Place in the Sun turned emotional as presenter Ben Hillman showed Mark and Candy around potential homes in Spain.
The couple, who had a a £77,000 budget, were on the hunt for a three-bedroom property with traditional charm. Mark's background in construction meant they were open to undertaking some renovations, as they explained to the Channel 4 favourite.
But it seemed Ben may have misjudged just how much of a fixer-upper the pair were looking for. Candy's disappointment was palpable as they toured the second property, leading her to admit, "I'm just not feeling this at all."
Ben, taken aback, responded, "I understood you incorrectly. I know you said a project is fine and the fact you are a builder as well. Have I run away with that? ", reports the Express.
Candy conceded that perhaps they hadn't been clear enough, expressing her concerns: "I'm finding that a little bit more daunting, the level of renovations so maybe we've not made it entirely clear? ".
She clarified to Ben that while they were willing to renovate a room or two, the extensive work required by the house was overwhelming.
As Candy became visibly emotional, Ben probed further, asking, "It's not what you're imagining, not what you're hoping for. This is a project too far, is it? She replied: ".
She responded: "It is, I'm sorry."
The host comforted Candy, telling her there was no need to apologise and that the aim was to find their dream home.
The emotions continued to run high as the third house visit left Mark visibly moved. With Candy's radiant smile indicating her adoration for the place, Mark admitted: "I'm getting emotional now! It's lovely."
By the episode's conclusion, the audience witnessed Mark and Candy deciding to make an offer of £76,250 on the house.
As Ben rang up the estate agent to enquire if the deal included furniture, Mark shared his anxiousness while they anticipated the response.
Following a suspenseful wait, Ben announced that the furniture would be part of the deal at their proposed price, leading to the couple shedding tears of happiness.
