A Place in the Sun: Danni Menzies worries she's 'gone too far'
Danni Menzies, 33, has become well known for presenting as part of Channel 4's day time classic - A Place In The Sun. As travel restrictions eased after the first lockdown last year, the host was able to start filming for the show again, and she has now opened up about her return from filming after working three-months straight for the show.
Talking to Express.co.uk about filming for the show last year, Danni said: "I stayed out there on location for three months, which I have never done before.
"Usually it is three weeks at a time, because it takes us a week to do the show. So to do three months back to back, by the end of it I was absolutely knackered.
"I think I was quite happy to go into lockdown, but it was good we got it done and I think the shows are going down really well."
The presenter was able to film for A Place In The Sun last summer as lockdown restrictions eased.

"14 weeks of @aplaceinthesunofficial living out of suitcases and changing hotels every weekend.
"I don't think I've ever been so excited to go home, NGL ready to keel over."
The presenter continued: "Yeah, it was really weird because I kind of felt like for a while I was missing it."
Although Danni went on to talk of how the pandemic meant filming for the show had to follow strict rules.

"But obviously, it just needs to be a case of when it's safe and when it allows."
She continued: "It makes you really appreciate things when suddenly you can't do them."
