Kirstie Allsopp lifts lid on her relationship with Phil Spencer after rumoured 'feud' Newspoint | May 22 2025 20:30:00 IST

Property expert has confirmed that she and Phil Spencer don't socialise outside of work. Despite working together for almost 25 years on the property series , Phil said in an interview that the pair don't mingle when away from the cameras. This sparked reports of an apparent "feud", which Kirstie has addressed in her diary entry in .

The 53-year-old issued a candid comment about their friendship and said that Phil is committed to "golf, fishing and his wife, Fi." She also opened up about the 25th anniversary of the property show, expressing that she "can't quite believe it."

Kirstie wrote: "Although much to my surprise, it's Phil, not me, who's first to put his foot in it.

He said in an interview that he and I don't socialise outside of work.

"It's true: he lives between Hampshire and Cornwall and is devoted to his golf, fishing, and his lovely wife Fi. We are very rarely in the same place at the same time unless we are working. But his comment causes a rash of 'feud' headlines. This too shall pass."

She later spoke about her fallout with former Good Morning Britain star Piers Morgan, who later apologised to Kirstie and calling a "truce" between them.

Kirstie added: "I haven't told Phil yet about our reconciliation. Phil loves Piers and has read all his books, so he found our feud difficult (though obviously he took my side). Should I ever fall out with Jeremy Clarkson I might lose Phil, and Ben and my boys."

When asked about their first impressions of each other, Kirstie previously told TV Times magazine: "I made him [Phil] nervous! I've never understood why people are scared of me. The question most people ask me is, 'Is Phil as nice as he seems?'"

Phil, 55, remembered that he had met Kirstie at the screen test for the show. He said: "We met on a screen test for the show. We were both working as property finders, me in south-west London and Kirstie in west London, when we were approached to make 'Location..', I thought she was great fun - and a bit mad! I had massive respect for her professional opinion from day one."
