A Place In The Sun star Danni Menzies has opened up about what it’s really like to work on the popular Channel 4 show – revealing that she’s even ‘seen a few flashers’ while filming.
The Scottish star, 36, has been a fan favourite presenter for viewers of the property show since she began co-hosting it back in 2016.
However, Danni announced her departure from the programme earlier this year and has opted for a surprising career move.
In conjunction with The Health Lottery, she will spearhead an ‘inspirational’ podcast where she will speak to personalities such as Loose Women’s Kaye Adams.
Reflecting on her time on the show, the presenter spoke to the Daily Star about what it was like behind the scenes on A Place In The Sun, including the ‘dodgy things’ that sometimes happened in the background of her takes.

The Scottish star, 36, has been a fan favourite presenter for viewers of the British property show since she began co-hosting it back in 2016
She told the newspaper: ‘I was doing a piece to camera in Lanzarote and had a nudist running in the background.
‘I was filming and they said, “One minute guys, there’s something dodgy behind you”.
‘We had it in Spain too, we were filming and this guy cycled past on his bike totally naked. There’s lots of it, I’ve seen a few flashers.’
Danni added that ‘living out of a suitcase’ took its toll and she found it ‘hard to date and do normal things’.
The star’s new podcast show will be available on all platforms including Apple, Spotify and Amazon Music from May 23.
Also appearing on the pod will be award-winning filmmaker and photographer Doug Allan, Michelin star chef Andy Beynon, and bestselling author Chris Brookmyre.
Her show is part of the Pay it Forward campaign launched by The Health Lottery which has raised over £130 million for wellbeing causes across the UK.
Before her podcast well and truly kicks off, Danni took a luxurious holiday to the Cayman Islands in April to visit her friend Steph and shared photos from the trip to Instagram.

Taking to her Instagram Stories, she shared a poem by Ida Banks and told her followers how her former colleague would ‘continue to exist in those who loved him’.

‘That we will continue to exist in them, in their bloodstreams, for generations, for lifetimes.’
