Channel 5’s expat chronicle returns Thursday with another dose of sun-drenched dreams and entrepreneurial scrambles. Airing at 4 PM, Bargain-Loving Brits in the Sun checks in with a fresh batch of Brits chasing their passions in Spain, from running a bustling bar to slinging ink as a tattoo artist.
In Mijas, former marketing exec Leonora is banking on some help from her partner Ben as a busy spell hits their bar-restaurant. But fresh off an eight-hour flight from Dubai, Ben finds himself thrown straight into the deep end as Leonora gears up for a 70th birthday bash. Meanwhile, in Benidorm, tattooist Rob continues to combine two loves: ink and two-wheeled adventures—this time with his wife Karen.
Speaking of change-ups, Karen’s moved on from needles to paperwork. She’s now the go-to person for expats trying to sort out their residency forms—talk about a lifestyle shift. And speaking of shifts, charity fundraisers Wayne and Des are facing down a rather naked challenge: filling the final slots in their yearly nude calendar. Exactly who’s willing to bare it all for a good cause is the cliffhanger that’s going to keep us tuning in next week.
Bargain-Loving Brits in the Sun airs Thursday, 12 June at 4:00 PM on Channel 5.
