The Location, Location, Location presenter has been contacted by her local services amid allegations of 'neglect' - but she has defended her decision to let the teen interrail across the continent.
Kirstie Allsopp has been reported to social services for allowing her 15-year-old son to interrailing around Europe. The Location, Location, Location presenter allowed her son, Oscar, to go travelling across Europe with a 16-year-old friend this summer but had since been contacted by a social worker who informed her that a file had been opened after child protection concerns were raised. She told The Mail on Sunday: 'I just felt sick - absolutely sick. Then I was cross.
Allsopp says the social worker 'wanted to know what safeguards you put in place for your son's travel' but she became 'incandescent' and informed the official it was none of her business and that she was ending the call. Allsopp said officials did not understand that she had been targeted by someone falsely alleging neglect. She has not been told how the referral had been made, or by whom.
