A place in the sun host Leah Charles-King has called on viewers to complain after noticing she didn't appear in the new episodes.
The Channel 4 lifestyle series follows a couple who want to buy a property in a foreign land, being linked to one of the various presenters which then relay information about purchasing, operating and maintaining a property in a particular location.
