A Place in the Sun’s Danni Menzies offered comfort a guest star after she burst into tears at the sight of one of the houses Danni had suggested for her.Menzies, who is a regular host on the A Place in the Sun lineup, accompanied married couple Tony and Julie as they toured the Italian coast.The pair were looking for a property in Trabocchi in hopes of finding a forever home with “plenty of character”.Their needs were a quiet apartment or villa and they were willing to stretch up to £165,00 if they found somewhere they fell in love with.However, the episode did not get off to a good start as Danni showed the couple her chosen houses.First up, an apartment in the middle of the town’s hustle and bustle.Tony and Julie complained that the property was too close to the action for their liking, so the trio swiftly moved on to Danni’s second suggestion.Another disappointment was on the cards as the house that Menzies found, despite being 50-years-old, gave too much of a “new build” vibe.Tony said that the property was not charming enough for them and that it didn’t “feel Italian”.At the fourth property, which Danni reassured them was “bursting with character,” the couple were over the moon and Julie began to cry.As soon as she saw the views that the house had to offer, Julie began to blub.The apartment boasted views of rolling green hills, snowy mountains and gorgeous skies, which all proved too much for Julie who said she was “overwhelmed”.The buyer apologised to the host, who put her arm around her in a reassuring gesture.However, their joy was slightly overshadowed when they received the news that the property was two on the same land.

Rylan Clark-Neal and former Eurovision judge Richard Wilkins.From the length of the song to the lyrics, even the time the song was released – everything is very precise when it comes to Eurovision's choice of songs.The first rule is fairly simple – the lyrics and music can’t have been commercially released before September 1 the year before.Another qualifying rule for the song is it must not be any longer than three minutes – but there's a very good reason for that.In Stockholm, for example, the show starts at 9pm, the first song is at about 9:15pm, and 26 songs later it’s past 10:30pm.Then there’s all that banter from the hosts, and finally the results, meaning it’s a very lengthy evening.In 2015, Finland broke the record for the shortest song in Eurovision as the band Pertti Kurikan Nimipäivät participated with their punk-rock song Aina Mun Pitää with a length of 1m27s.Luckily, entrants don't need many lyrics, as Norway’s 1995 winning song Nocturne demonstrated with just 24 words.The legal term isn’t “lyrics”, it’s “discernible vocals” and the edgy Belgium interprets this in their own way, as in 2003 and 2008 they entered songs in an imaginary dialect.Understandably, there's no miming in Eurovision – all vocals must be sung live.They are so strict on this that no voices are permitted on the backing track either.The rule book follows then to say that if you sing live you better sing well.For the TV broadcast each country is allocated 50 minutes of rehearsal time split over two days.This ensures technical precision of everything from the lighting to the music.It is not all over after that though as there are then three full dress rehearsals for each Semi Final and the Grand Final.So, when an act qualifies for the Grand
