‘You're doing it again!’ Kirstie Allsopp called out by co-star over thriftiness

Channel 4 viewers tuned in to see Kirstie and Phil’s Love It or List It take a trip to Preston on Wednesday evening. The latest episode of the property show saw hosts Phil Spencer and Kirstie Allsopp help a couple who couldn’t agree on what to do with their 1950s three bedroom semi-detached house. Danny was keen to sell the property and move to the countryside, while his wife Alex wanted to renovate their home and expand into the loft. However, after Kirstie aided the couple with the planning of their loft conversion, Phil was quick to highlight his co-star out for her thrifty tricks.

Explaining what he didn’t like about his house, Danny said: “It’s a square box with square rooms.

“At the moment I’ve got all my music stuff in the bay window of the dining room and when I’m pulling up at the house it’s more of a disappointment.

“You don’t get like, ‘Ahh I’m coming home!’” Danny added.

However, Alex hit back: “It’s who you come home to that makes a house a home.”

“Yes, dear,” Danny said, as the couple laughed together.

Keen to show off a bit of thriftiness, Kirstie pointed towards the bath and said: “Second hand freestanding tub.”

Phil teased: “Have you been pinching things out of skips again?”

“No, no, no, no,” Kirstie replied, with Alex confirming the bathtub was “ex-display”.

Then moved on into the newly converted loft to see Alex and Danny’s master suite.

Kirstie described it as a “huge master bedroom that makes the most of the unrivalled views”.

“It’s very nice,” Phil said, admiring Kirstie’s design choices.

Sharing how delighted she was with the new additions to her home, Alex commented: “It’s far exceeded any expectation that I had of what it was actually going to be.”

“It’s definitely a luxury space isn’t it?” Danny added.

The couple eventually decided to stay at the property and enjoy their new space for a few more years.

However, when Phil revisited Alec and Danny almost four years later, they had moved to a much larger property with their new baby.

Kirstie and Phil’s Love It or List It airs Wednesdays at 8pm on Channel 4.
