However, the presenter, who has been helping house-hunters achieve countryside-living since 2002, did open up about an issue that she often comes across on the show.

After bidding programme contributors Dick and Louise a number of properties in the Cambridge countryside, she said "If I'm honest, it's not the easiest thing in the world showing a couple a county which they really don't know very well."

The area itself is not only a tricky aspect of the show to navigate. Nicki also recently revealed that many hopeful home owners make one big mistake when searching for their dream house. Appearing on an episode of new BBC programme, Morning Live, in November, she told hosts Kym Marsh and Gethin Jones: "I think you need to work out what it is that you want."
She added: "If you're flat sharing with three other people and you're working on a laptop on your lap on a tray every single day, you're thinking 'I can't do this for much longer' and that's been the situation for so many people.

"If you are going to the country, I would say, look at it with fresh eyes – what's it like in the winter months? Are you prepared to make an effort and go and join the local community?
