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."
Trivia:
Due to her father's peerage, Allsopp is entitled to call herself the Honourable Kirstie Allsopp.
