Early-life:
Kirstie Mary Allsopp was born in London on August 31, 1973. Her father is Charles Henry, 6th Baron Hindlip, and former chairman of Christie's. Her mother Fiona is an interior designer.

Career:
In 1996, Allsopp pooled her talents with future co-star Phil Spencer to found Garrington Homefinders, before moving into TV presenting in 2001, with the Channel 4 series Location, Location, Location. Since then, she has presented several series of the show, as well as a spin-off, Relocation Relocation. She has also co-hosted (with Phil) a countdown of the best and worst places to live in the UK. Away from property-hunting, she has written several books, participated in Sport Relief Does the Apprentice and presented shows on making home-made crafts. In 2008 she was voted the 91st sexiest woman by FHM magazine.
Quote:
On her elegant TV image: "I think I'm fat and ugly and clothes that seem to work off-camera look like a dog's dinner. I come across as a posh Sloane, but maybe that's what I am."

Due to her father's peerage, Allsopp is entitled to call herself the Honourable Kirstie Allsopp.
Phil Spencer
(Presenter)
Born:
December 11, 1969
in
Littlebourne, Kent
Best Known For:
Location, Location, Location.
Early-life:
Philip Cuthbert Spencer was born on December 11, 1969, in Littlebourne, Kent, and grew up, the second eldest of four children, on his family's farm. He was educated at Uppingham School (he eventually became head boy), the alma mater of such luminaries as Stephen Fry, Donald Campbell and Johnny Vaughan. Phil initially considered joining the army, but trained to be a surveyor and worked as an estate agent before setting up Garrington Home Finders firm, a property search agency to help buyers with property search, negotiation and purchase process.
Career:
It was his promotion of Garrington and the concept of using a buying agent to find a home that led Spencer to become the co-host of Location, Location, Location and Relocation, Relocation alongside Kirstie Allsopp. The duo have become one of TV's most successful double acts and have fronted various projects based on the property market. Despite having helped numerous celebrities find homes, Garrington Home Finders Ltd eventually went into administration as a result of the recession. Spencer's TV career continues to flourish, however, and he is a director and shareholder of independent production company Raise the Roof.
Quote:
"I fundamentally believe the long-term trend of house prices will be an upward one. But all markets are cyclical and we are currently in a downturn. It won't last forever. We live on an island with a housing shortage and an increasing population."
Trivia:
He writes for several magazines and newspapers, including GQ and The Sunday Times. He has two sons.
