TV property queen replaced by corset loving sister
October 13, 2006 
Kirstie Allsopp, host of Channel 4's Location, Location, Location is to be replaced by her corset-loving sister Sofie.
While Kirstie, famous for her rather conservative dress, is on maternity leave her little sister Sofie will present Channel 4's new show The Best And Worst Places To Live In The UK alongside Kirstie's regular Location, Location, Location co-presenter Phil Spencer.
But while the sisters may look startlingly similar and even boast the same cut-glass accent, Sofie is known for being a little more adventurous than her big sister.
Indeed, Sofie once posed in her underwear for a show charting the development of women's glamour from corsets to camisoles.
Speaking to the Daily Mail she said: "A friend of mine put on a burlesque night at the Hippodrome in Leicester Square. It was an exploration of old-fashioned glamour: stockings, feather boas and frilly knickers.
"He asked me to be the model for the poster, which I was happy to do. It was quite odd, though, when it got plastered up in lots of Tube stations. But it's one to tell the grandchildren - that I've been all over the Underground dressed in a revealing corset and headdress."
However, fans need not fear as Kirstie Allsopp will be back to host the new series of Location, Location, Location in the New Year.
