Episode 1

Amanda Holden purchases two rundown apartments for one euro each in rural Sicily and convinces best friend Alan Carr to spend a summer renovating them into an Italian dream home.

Amanda Holden and Alan Carr take on a project of a lifetime in the sun-kissed hills of rural Sicily. In a bid to breathe new life into forgotten towns, Italian municipalities are selling empty homes for one euro. Fulfilling a long-held ambition, Amanda purchases two dilapidated apartments in picture perfect Salemi and convinces best friend Alan to spend a summer renovating them, with the aim to create an Italian dream home. Arriving at the crumbling property for the first time, seeing the piles of rubbish and abandoned junk, it dawns on them that this is no holiday.
