Amanda Holden and Alan Carr set to make huge profit on BBC house in Spain

Amanda Holden and are one step closer to selling their Spanish telly renovation for a massive profit. The presenting duo bought a rundown townhouse in Granada and overhauled it for their series and Alan’s Spanish job.

Buying the shabby building for €65,000 (£55,000), it was on the market for £208,355. Up for sale for just over a month, it looks to have been snapped up by one lucky buyer. The house is now 'under offer' on Rightmove. A source said: “Their bold decorating has pulled in a sale very fast and people love their DIY style!” All proceeds are going to and .

They transformed it from a derelict shell which hadn’t been lived in for 35 years into a stylish and elegant three-bedroom house in the main square of the historic village of Moclín, a 90-minute drive from Malaga airport. Whilst carefully retaining some of the original features and integrity of the building, Amanda, 54, and Alan, 48, have sensitively brought the house back to life.

Boasting a Mediterranean-style terrace with the option to add a small plunge pool, it has two bathrooms. It’s double-fronted and set across three floors. The restoration of the property included a new roof.

But they hit some problems along the way as they discovered what a bad state it was in. "It's the same as when you first meet someone, you don't see any flaws in them," explained Amanda. "It's the same with a house. You go round going, 'Oh my God, this is amazing, I love this, I love this...' Then gradually it becomes like a nightmare."

"Amanda has chosen the house this year," explained Alan. "She's got a great eye, but she loves a challenge, it's in her DNA. Every time you open the door there is another mess. A courtyard, an overgrown tree, some stairs that probably go up to heaven?" When they discover the ruined roof, they think they've seen the worst of it. But Alan finds an unwelcome mess in the bath and jokes, "It's because a lot of the decor is dated, but the turd is fresh!"
