Leah Charles King took to her Instagram on Wednesday to share a clip from her night out with her cast and crew of Channel 4’s A Place in the Sun. In the video posted on her social media, the TV presenter certainly seemed to be in good spirits as the crowd cheered her on while playing the fiddle.
The clip had a caption written on it, which read: “Check me out playing this guy’s fiddle in Villamartin, Spain.
“After hours on location filming A Place in the Sun.
“I’ve a brand new episode today at 3pm on Channel 4.” (sic).
In the caption of her Instagram post, the property expert then went on to add: We work hard, we play harder…

In an exclusive interview with Express.co.uk, the TV star said she felt “ashamed” to tell others about her disorder when she was first diagnosed almost 10 years ago.
It wasn’t until two years ago when Leah started speaking publicly about her health condition.
“I couldn’t think of anything worse than bipolar because, you know, if you have anything else, people will give you sympathy and they will wrap you up in love,” she said.
”But when you’ve got a mental illness you are very much left alone.
“And it’s already such a lonely condition and I just hid it.”
She added: ”I was hiding a big part of myself and when I came out it was the most empowering thing I’ve ever done and I’ve never looked back since.”
Leah continued to share that her biggest worry was that her mental disorder would prevent her from landing a TV presenting gig because of the stigma around bipolar disorder.
But presenting is all that Leah ever saw herself doing, she added, stressing that she doesn’t do it for fame and fortune but simply because “it makes me happy”.
While A Place in the Sun can sometimes demand a very hectic filming schedule, causing Leah to feel distressed, she has learned to adapt to her work routine and seek help when needed.
In December, she told Express.co.uk that she hoped her story would inspire viewers of the Channel 4 programme that being diagnosed with a health condition isn’t the end of one’s ambitions and goals.
“I want people to understand that they can go back to full time work, you can do it,” she expressed.
“But you will have to set certain parameters and certain routines to keep your well-being in check and that for me is the most important thing.
