Early life
Her parents are Charles Allsopp, 6th Baron Hindlip and Fiona Victoria Jean Atherley (née McGowan). She is the younger sister of television presenter Kirstie Allsopp.[1] Designer and businesswoman Cath Kidston is her cousin.[2]
Career
Allsopp has worked as a real-estate agent, a sales and letting negotiator and a relocation agent in Notting Hill, London. She had her own company, specialising in finding houses, managing moves and providing after-sale services to new home-owners.[3][4]
In 2006, she temporarily replaced her sister Kirstie as co-presenter of Location, Location, Location, while the latter was on maternity leave.[5] During this period, she presented an episode in which Hackney was voted as the worst place to live in the UK, which caused some controversy.[6][7][8]
In 2008, she began hosting the Canadian television show The Unsellables on HGTV (Canada). Her role on the show was to help people sell their "unsellable" homes.[9] The programme has since been broadcast on the U.S. HGTV and on the BBC in the UK, in which Allsopp is paired with property expert John Rennie.[citation needed]
Personal life
She has a degree in Medieval History from the University of Edinburgh.[9][3]
