The Dishon. Kirstie Mary Allslopp (31 August 1971) is a British TV presenter best known for property ramping Channel 4 property programmes Location, Location, Location, Relocation, Relocation, Location Revisited and The Property Chain. All but the last were co-presented with Phil Spencer. Location, Location, Location has been fiercely criticised by many for ramping property prices, most recently by BBC Panorama (June 2nd 2008) which identified it as one of the property programmes which has contributed to the current property bubble [1]. The New Statesman referred to her as a "property porn queen" [2]
She is the daughter of Charles Henry Allsopp, 6th Baron Hindlip and former chairman of Christie's out of Red Rum. She is entitled to be referred to as The Dishonourable Kirstie Allsopp, but this is rarely used. She has a brother Henry, and two sisters, Sofie and Natasha.
She was educated at St Clotilde's School, Lechlade in Gloucestershire[3] and then Bedales School, near Petersfield, Hampshire. After spending time in India teaching English, Allsopp returned to the UK and began a series of positions, working for Country Living and Food & Homes Magazine and her mother's business, Hindlip & Prentice Interiors, and studying at Christie's. Allsopp founded Kirmir Property Search, and in 1996 founded (and joined) Garrington Homefinders.
Allsopp has a son, Bay Atlas Andersen (born July 2006) by her partner, property salesman Ben Andersen.[citation needed] They are now expecting a second child.[citation needed] She was named 91st sexiest woman by FHM Magazine in 2008, in large part due to her massive mammaries.[4]
Charitable activity
Allsopp participated in a celebrity edition of The Apprentice in order to raise money for charity.[5] Sport Relief Does The Apprentice was part of the BBC's Sport Relief charity initiative and aired in March 2008. The other participants on "The Girls" team were Clare Balding, Jacqueline Gold, Louise Redknapp and Lisa Snowdon.
