While there, she was treated to a stay in The Lamp Post Villa, owned by fellow Italian hotelier Carmine who has found it hard to keep his establishment afloat.

Carmine, a novice hotelier, mentioned that he was alone in taking care of his hotel, which made only made it harder for him to make sure business was running smoothly.

Moreover, fans of the series were left even more surprised when they could sense some sexual chemistry between Alex and Carmine.

Another jumped in, writing: "#TheHotelInspector can sense the sexual chemistry tonight."

"I feel dirty just watching this", quipped a fifth viewer.

The apparent chemistry didn't stop Alex from getting down to business as she helped the B&B owner keep his business open.

Although viewers sensed she could be getting along with Carmine, Alex has sometimes failed to find a common ground with other hoteliers.

In recent episodes of The Hotel Inspector, Alex was seen visiting Caer Beris Manor in Wales, run by former real estate agent Omar, his wife and his in laws.

The 50-year-old host tried to help the family but Omar was determined to get a Michelin's star for the hotel's restaurant, despite his lack of experience as a chef.

Omar didn't take into account any of Alex's advice and, when she returned after a few months away from the hotel, a row ensued.
