A woman who appeared in "A Place in the Sun" died in the forest fire in Spain. Barely a week later, TV4 aired the episode with her - which sparked reactions among viewers. Now the channel regrets that it happened.

"We regret that it was broadcast and fully understand the reactions it has aroused," TV4 said in a written comment to Expressen.

The popular British television programme followed British couple Malcolm Timbrell and Annette Kilgore's dream of owning their own home in the sun.

But the dream turned into tragedy when Annette Kilgore died in the forest fire near Bédar in Spain last week. On Wednesday, the couple's episode was broadcast on TV4.

"The episode had been planned for a long time but obviously should not have been broadcast," TV4 writes to Expressen.

A total of 13 people died in the fire.
