A Place in the Sun in 2021, and has been a staple on the show since he joined in early 2021.Speaking exclusively to Express.co.uk, Lee has revealed what he finds annoying with some buyers.Lee admitted that he rarely gets annoyed but if he does it's because of "close-minded buyers".The TV star said: "I think I did an episode where every single house we showed them which technically on paper and in reality was everything that they asked for and more and they just couldn’t see the positive in anything."So I think that's the only challenging thing."I’m quite an optimistic person when it comes to looking at properties and seeing the potential because I can walk into a place and it can just be a blank canvas and I can see what can be done."Lee continued: "But I think when people, I mean it’s only happened once but they can literally not see, which is fine."But it’s more like the journey of can’t you see why I brought you here and them not really understanding what they want and don’t want."Some people have an idea or a vision which they all do, but the reality is things are not always as you imagined."So it’s that kind of compromise of how can I make that vision become a reality?"We’ve had a couple of people that were very very close minded and they didn’t see the potential in anything I showed them at all."Lee said that is the only "tricky bit" of his A Place in the Sun job.The TV presenter spoke to Radio Times when he first got the job and said that he hoped his job on the show would do a lot for people of colour.He said April last year: "It means so much more to me that I get to be part of this show because for me when I was growing up, I’m a person of colour so there was nobody that looked like me on TV."I think Channel 4,.
