Career

Allsop 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 aftercare services to new home-owners.[3][4]

In 2006, she temporarily replaced her sister Kirstie as co-presenter of Location, Location, Location, while Kirstie 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
