Missing Annette Kilgore, 69, is feared to have died after wildfires tore through the Spanish village of Bédar, where she lived.‌She moved from Cornwall to Bédar with her husband, Malcom Timbrell, 70, after appearing on the Channel 4 show in 2023. Bédar, in the province of Almeria in the south, was razed by flames last Thursday (July 9), leaving at least 13 people dead.‌Malcom had become separated from his wife and 12 of their friends and neighbours as flames raced towards their home. Writing on Instagram, Jasmine said: "Some awful news. You may have seen on the news that Spain has been experiencing some terrible wildfires, and I was so sad to hear of the tragic deaths of several people in Bédar.‌"Sending deepest condolences to those have lost lived ones. Especially to Malcom who previously appeared with his wife Annette on A Place in the Sun. I don’t really have the words to say how very sorry I am for your loss Malcom. I know we have never met, I can’t imagine what you are going through right now. Sending thoughts and prayers."Speaking to the BBC, Malcom said: "We have had an amazing life together and now it's stopped. If we had done the sensible thing and gone the other way and let our cats die, we both would be alive. But when you've got animals, you don't think like that."‌He went on to say that he was "waiting for DNA clarification," and would "probably just fall apart" when the results are shared.A Place in the Sun presenter Leah Charles-King helped Malcolm and Annette find their dream home in Spain three years ago, with Annette telling the host at the start of their episode that she wanted to enjoy the Spanish way of life after retiring from a career in mental health.‌"We've started kayaking, which is great fun. I haven't fallen in. I now know that I don't panic when I fall in, so that's a good thing," she said back in 2023.Although they had never visited the Almeria region before, Annette and Malcolm were sure that it was the perfect spot for them and their beloved cats, Charlie and Misty, to unwind."It's not as commercialised, it's smaller areas of villages, so it just seemed the perfect place," Annette said, with Malcolm adding: "It will extend our adventure."‌Annette added: "So, to sit and have a glass of wine in our own property that we've thought about for so long and just have that lovely feeling, 'This is ours, we've done it.'"The couple had a budget of £200,000 to find their perfect Spanish home, which they found in Bédar. The stone cottage was on the market for £215,746 at the time of filming, and, at the end of the episode, Malcolm and Annette put down a "cheeky" initial offer of £175,000.‌It was initially rejected by the owner, but the negotiating parties eventually agreed on a sale at £200,000. After confirming the sale, Malcolm said: "I couldn't be happier at the moment," before Annette added: "We've just bought that Spanish beautiful stone cottage up on the top of a mountain. And that isn't what we came for? It's what we've bought, because it's what we fell in love with."Scorching temperatures, incredibly dry ground , and powerful winds saw the fire spread rapidly across the region on Thursday afternoon; another day of extremes in a summer heatwave, with the mercury hitting 44C in some parts of Spain.Authorities in Spain are now trying to identify those unable to escape the blaze with DNA. Relatives of those missing have been asked to provide samples to the Bédar civil office, with many victims suffering burns so severe that it would be impossible to identify them without them.Article continues belowLike this story?
