Amanda Holden joked she would have to 'argue with the BBC' as she hints at a possible shake-up of her home renovation show with Alan Carr.
The pair have been snapping up properties abroad and then transforming them to sell on. The first series saw them snapping up a two-bedroom property in Tuscany for just a Euro (85p).
Known as 'Casa Alamanda', it sold for around £187,777. The second series of the show saw the best friends turning their attention to Spain, purchasing a property in the historic village of Moclín in Granada, Spain.
Having once again purchased the property for just 85p, the property has now been sold for an undisclosed amount to a purchaser from Wales. It was listed on Rightmove for approximately £210,000.
The third series will see Alan and Amanda heading off to Corfu, renovating a new property and learning about a new culture. But Amanda, 54, hinted at a possible shake-up for the show.

On Alan's Life a Beach podcast, she said: 'I think it should be my Big Fat Greek Renovation, first of all.'
Alan agreed, suggesting he was unhappy with the show's title. He said: 'I don't like the Greek Job. It's just job, it sounds cr**.'
Amanda however concluded the pair would have to air their concerns with bosses at the BBC. She concluded: 'It's not good. I think we should argue with the BBC about that.'
Comedian Alan says Greece was an ideal destination for the latest series because it is his 'go to' holiday destination. Speaking to the BBC, he said: 'Greece is always my 'Go To' place for holiday fun, so it will be strange for me to be packing a hard hat, drill and paint roller in my suitcase instead of my usual suntan lotion and budgie smugglers.
'After the success of Sicily, Tuscany and Andalusia I think Greece is the perfect next step for some Alamanda magic, with its rich history and culture and let's not forget the delicious food and drink, it feels like it's already gearing up to be an unforgettable summer.'

Alan, 48, will be returning to TV screens tonight (May 9) with Interior Design Masters at 8pm on BBC One. The show will see designers renovating hospitality suites at the Allianz Stadium Twickenham.
Alan and Amanda's Greek Job will be an eight-part series. It will air on BBC One and the BBC iPlayer.

Natalie Cassidy breaks silence on ‘disgusting' cancer hoax weeks after leaving EastEnders
It came after she opened up on 'bullying' allegations from a major pop star FORMER EastEnders actress Natalie Cassidy has slammed a "disgusting and disgraceful" fake rumour suggesting she is battling breast cancer. The popular soap star took to her Instagram Stories for a fiery rant over the "terrible and made up" allegations. 6 EastEnders actress Natalie Cassidy has slammed fake rumours of a medical condition Credit: Rex 6 The mum of two took to her Instagram Stories to rage about a 'disgraceful' story suggesting she has breast cancer Credit: Instagram 6 She quit her role on the long-running soap this year Credit: BBC The EastEnders alum, 42, who told of her decision to quit her EastEnders role as Sonia Fowler earlier this year, screen-grabbed the article image and concerning headline, which read: "Natalie Cassidy Breaks Down as She Reveals Breast Cancer Diagnosis." It then allegedly featured a quote from the TV star which read: "I Didn't Want Anyone to Know..." Images showed her in-character on the show as well as smiling in a cheery headshot. Yet Natalie, who this year quit EastEnders after 32 years on the soap, categorically slammed the suggestions of her illness. She furiously wrote in her caption: "THIS IS DISGUSTING AND DISGRACEFUL. "So many people are going through this and I have had messages asking if I'm ok. "It is completely made up and a terrible story. "Take this down whoever you are." The fake news came after the mum of two opened up on a huge pop star who used to bully her at school. EastEnders' Natalie Cassidy claims huge pop star used to BULLY her at school and reveals awkward confrontation ALL CHANGE The shock story also came just weeks after Natalie's podcast with Joanna Page was scrapped by the BBC in a huge career change. Yet she still has her own podcast, Life With Nat. The podcast scrap came after we reported how Natalie had landed a new TV show with the broadcaster. BBC Daytime have commissioned a new series - under the working title Natalie Cassidy Learning to Care - for BBC One and iPlayer. EastEnders stars who QUIT MICHELLE Collins has seen her second EastEnders stint boost her bank balance. Yet what stars have quit this year? The Sun exclusively reported how Michelle, 62, was down to £20,000 in her company accounts when she agreed to a shock back-from-the-dead return to Albert Square last year. Her character, Cindy Beale, was presumed dead off-camera in 1998. Yet what about the 2024 exits? Earlier this summer, loyal soap fans appeared to note how Stevie Mitchell had "quit" the long-running series. It came after Alan Ford enjoyed just six-months on-screen. Bobby Beale actor Clay Milner Russell also left this year after five years in Walford. Fans also feared Martin Fowler actor James Bye would "quit out of boredom" over recent storylines. Additionally, a host of stars have quit the BBC soap for Hollywood fame. One of the most successful stars to come from the BBC One soap is Rob Kazinsky. He played Stacey Slater's brother Sean Slater from 2006 to 2009, he has starred in Hollywood blockbusters Pacific Rim and Captain Marvel. Ben Hardy, who quit EastEnders as Bobby Beale almost a decade ago, went on to break Hollywood the following year, when he starred as Archangel in X-Men: Apocalypse. Since then, he has played Roger Taylor in Queen biopic Bohemian Rhapsody, and he starred in Michael Bay's Netflix movie 6 Underground. Michelle Ryan played Zoe Slater until 2005. She starred as the lead in short-lived American series Bionic Woman from 2007 to 2008. The actress will fulfil her longtime ambition of wanting to train as carer. This means enrolling at one of the UK's top Health & Social Care colleges - alongside the next generation of carers. In recent years, Natalie has cared for family members and volunteered in local groups. The show follows her journey across classroom to community care services - as she's there for life's toughest moments. While to make things official, the actress will have to pass her final exam. Natalie said: 'I'm thrilled to be embarking on a new adventure with BBC Daytime. "In a series exploring social care, I will be going back to college and learning for the first time since leaving school at 16. "Caring has always been a huge part of my life, from watching my mum care for my nan, to being a mother to caring for my dad, this series is close to my heart and I can't wait for you to see it.' 6 She said the claims were 'completely made up' Credit: Rex 6 Natalie was an EastEnders fan-favourite Credit: BBC

EastEnders schedule change to occur in summer on BBC One
This is partly thanks to the BBC's coverage of Wimbledon, which will last from Monday, June 30 to Sunday, July 13. Due to this, there won't be any room for EastEnders to air in the usual 7.30pm slot. Instead, viewers will need to head over to BBC Two to get their usual fix of the soap. A post shared by EastEnders (@bbceastenders) On the week commencing June 30, EastEnders will only air on Monday and Tuesday. However, it will broadcast two episodes in a row, therefore effectively broadcasting a week's worth of episodes in just two days. As reported by The Metro, the storylines across those two days will involve Linda Carter (Kellie Bright) and Elaine Peacock (Harriet Thorpe) clashing, while Ravi Gulati (Aaron Thiara) plots to catch someone out. At the time of writing, no information has been revealed regarding whether the episodes will arrive on BBC iPlayer at the usual time of 6am or what the schedule will look like for the week commencing July 7. A post shared on the r/EastEnders Reddit page shared the changes to the schedule for EastEnders. Quite a few were wondering how this would impact the usual release of episodes on BBC iPlayer. A person commented: "Will we get the 6am releases on iPlayer to be able to watch it at the usual time on the usual days?" One replied: "Glad you asked this because I was wondering the same! Hopefully we still get 6am iPlayer releases but wonder if they'll be double bills on Monday and Tuesday, or the usual Monday-Thurs (which would mean terrestrial/schedule viewers would get the storylines before the iPlayer episodes drop…) "Also the temptation to watch the doubles on Monday and Tuesday will be too much, but then what on earth do we do with ourselves for five days 🤣. "I find Friday-Sunday weird enough without checking in on the Square lol, five days feels looong."

"In the world of streaming and catch up, there is absolutely no way someone can 'miss' it because it was moved. "It really doesn't matter because all you have to do is instead of switching to bbc one, you just switch to bbc 2. It's better that than them not airing an episode or taking it off for Wimbledon."
