Sofie Allsopp (born 1980) is a British television presenter. Her parents are Charles Henry Allsopp, 6th Baron Hindlip (born 1940) and Fiona Victoria Jean Atherley (née McGowan, born 1947). Sofie has two sisters: television presenter Kirstie Allsopp (born 1971) and Natasha (born 1986), and a brother, Henry (born 1973).[2][3] The designer and business woman Cath Kidston is her cousin[4] .
Having previously worked as an estate agent and relocation agent in London, Allsopp temporarily stood in for her sister as the presenter of a special Location, Location, Location whilst Kirstie was on maternity leave[5] In this show, Hackney was voted as the worst place to live in the United Kingdom, which caused some controversy.[6][7]
In spring 2008, Allsopp began hosting the Canadian television show, The Unsellables, on HGTV (Canada). Her role on the show is to help people sell their "unsellable" homes.[3] The programme has since been broadcast on the US HGTV, and on the BBC in the UK, where Sofie is paired with fellow property expert John Rennie.
Allsopp has a degree in history[3] and is a keen global traveller, having journeyed through South America, Southeast Asia, Africa and Mongolia.[citation needed]
