When looking for a new home, one adage is always applicable: Location, location, location! And property programme Location, Location, Location has been helping buyers find the perfect home every episode. It’s a tough ask, with buyers having a wide variety of tastes in location and the activities they’d like to do in the area, such as snowboardi­ng or places where retirees can relax. For hosts Phil Spencer and Kirstie Allsopp, who’ve been hosting the show for more than 20 years, finding these locations have now become second nature and they’re showing no signs of slowing down. “To be honest, we never thought it would last beyond the pilot, but it’s now been running for more than 20 years and 390 episodes,” Kirstie says fondly.

Before making it on TV, Kirstie 1 wrote for magazines like Country Living and Food & Home.

Kirstie is able to use Honourable 2 in her name in the Unite Kingdom as her father Charles Henry Allsopp holds the position as sixth Baron Hindlip.

One of Kirstie’s most famous 3 tips to know if your bed will fit in your room is to simply lie on the floor and use your body as a measuring tape.

Kirstie has lobbied in Parliament 4 against housing ministers about the difficulti­es first-time home buyers face. “I’ll go with the politician­s who make the process for home buyers easier, because at the moment it’s massively stressful for people,” she states.
