Overview
- BBC One’s celebrity special saw Alistair Appleton tasked with finding the Loose Women panellist a secluded seaside or country retreat.
- In Suffolk, viewings in Levington and a £895,000 house in Thorpeness were rejected for lacking solitude, with Appleton graded a B- for those picks.
- The host then shifted the search roughly 500 miles to Islay, an island of around 3,000 residents noted for its isolation and coastal scenery.
- Near Port Ellen, a turf-roofed property stood out, prompting Janet to say she could picture living there alone and being completely happy.
- The production arranged an overnight stay at the standout house, and viewers later reacted on X to the show’s rare long-distance pivot between regions.
