While Scarlette didn't divulge the reasons why she has left the show, fans of the presenter will be aware that she has several other presenting gigs on her plate at the moment. Not only does she appear on My Dream Derelict Home in the Sun and George Clarke's Flipping Fast alongside her brother and fellow property expert Stuart Douglas, but the brother-sister duo have another new show in the works.

The pair have joined forces to present new Channel 4 programme Worst House on the Street, which sees them use their creative expertise to help families transform run-down houses into dream homes without spending a fortune.
"I think it did get to a point where my diary was just getting so busy," Scarlette told The Express, adding: "It was just getting manic, so I thought, 'You know what? I've done that show, I've loved it and I've learned everything I could possibly learn on [A Place in the Sun]. So, it's time to move on and keep going and take all that knowledge with me and just keep growing as well."
