Sophia Atherley "Sofie" Allsopp (born 1980) is a British television presenter.
Her parents are Charles Allsopp, 6th Baron Hindlip and Fiona Victoria Jean Atherley (née McGowan). She is the younger sister of television presenter Kirstie Allsop.[1] Designer and businesswoman Cath Kidston is her cousin.[2]
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 The Unsellables on HGTV (Canada). Her role on the show was to help people sell their "unsellable" homes.[9] The programme has since been broadcast on the U.S. HGTV and on the BBC in the UK, in which Allsop is paired with property expert John Rennie.
She has a degree in Medieval History from the University of Edinburgh.[9] [3]
