Right: Another Sicilian property - now sold - that carried a one euro price tag] The first series of Amanda & Alan's Italian Job for the BBC saw the TV star friends renovating two seen-better-days apartments in Sicily after Amanda bought them for a euro each.
Amanda Holden and Alan Carr's €1 Sicilian flat went on sale for £127,500 after they bought it for a single euro and then renovated it for the television series Amanda And Alan's Italian Job.
A quick browse through the websites that show off properties for sale for one euro on Google gives a pretty clear picture of what potential homeowners face, with many properties on offer in need of serious structural repair - from the roof to the foundations.
The film, in true rom-com tradition, has a happy ending...but overseas property buyers hoping to take advantage of the real-life 'buy a house in Italy for €1' scheme should be cautious, say experts.
Since the scheme was introduced in a bid to restore inhabitant numbers in remote towns and villages caused by depopulation plenty have proved that it's possible - including TV's Amanda Holden and Alan Carr.
