Sun-drenched dreams and renovation realities collide in Thursday’s “A New Life in the Sun.” From Spanish B&Bs to French villas, the episode follows expats as they gamble on new beginnings in unfamiliar lands. Tom and Terry, tackling a B&B renovation in Spain, face a rather ironic hurdle: they’ve never actually stayed in a B&B. Can they create a guest experience they’ve never experienced themselves? The pressure is on.
Meanwhile, in France, Paul and Fiona’s villa prepares for a VIP guest, a visit that could make or break their fledgling business. It’s a high-stakes scenario that underscores the precarious nature of relying on tourism in a foreign country. Over in Italy, Summer and Ashley hustle to build their business, proving that a life in the sun often requires serious elbow grease. And finally, Louise and Shay begin their quest for a fresh start in Portugal, facing the emotional and logistical challenges of uprooting their lives.
A New Life in the Sun airs Thursday, February 20, 2025, at 4pm on Channel 4.
