KIRSTIE’S HANDMADE CHRISTMAS

NEW FRIDAY / C4 / 8PM / LIFESTYLE

As the queen of Christmas crafting, Kirstie Allsopp is as busy as Santa’s elves with her preparations for the big day.

And as part of her mission to make this festive season the best yet, the Location, Location, Location presenter will be showcasing a new collection of delightful decorations, fab-yule-ous food ideas and glorious gifts, as well as sharing more top tips in her annual prime-time special, Kirstie’s Handmade Christmas, which airs on C4 this week.

From Monday 13 December, the show moves to the daytime schedules, where crafters will demonstrate their skills in a bid to win one of Kirstie’s trophies – handmade, of course!

Here, in an exclusive interview, Kirstie, 50, tells TV Times more…

You’re a busy bee, Kirstie!

Yes, just a bit! But I’m really happy to talk about these shows as I love making them. Handmade Christmas daytime has the competitions, while this week’s prime-time show has more of a luxury feel.

This week’s edition features a host of guest stars. Tell us more!
