Kirstie Allsopp suffers setback after death of father

On Saturday (July 6) Kirstie took to her Instagram where she uploaded a video of her on the roof of her home dressed in a floral dress and trench coat. In the clip, Kirstie could be seen brushing away puddles of water.

She also shared a video of her splashing around in the flood in her garage, as well as a snap of her coats hung up on a rail to dry off.

In the caption, Kirstie wrote: “Today was the first day when I had no work, caring, death and funeral admin, or any other event that I had to rock up for.”

She continued: “I thought I’d do a massive moth prevention exercise, but then we realised the garage was flooded and I headed up to the roof to try to remove some of the water from last night’s storm.

“But no tiny violins, we were going on holiday tomorrow, we’ve delayed it until Friday, and then watch out, it will be wall to wall sunny shots.”
