Love It Or List It and Location, Location, Location host Kirstie Allsopp is often a figure that participants in her property shows turn to for vital advice about their futures.
The 52-year-old presenter fronts the Channel 4 shows with long-time presenting partner Phil Spencer.
She has been there for hundreds of families over the years as they look to make one of the most important decisions of their lives.
But even though Kirstie – who appears on screen on July 24 for Love It Or List It – has probably never had any regrets herself when it comes to property, she has previously addressed a personal issue which she said was the “biggest regret of her life”.
Kirstie Allsopp and her pregnancies
Speaking to the Daily Mail in 2009, mum-of-two Kirstie addressed her experiences during pregnancy.
She detailed how, in her opinion, births don’t always go to plan, even if mums-to-be have prepared all they can.
She revealed how she was hospitalised with chronic morning sickness before the birth of her first son Bay.
That’s because she’d been left dehydrated and delirious with her symptoms.
Two weeks overdue, Bay – born weighing 11lb 11oz – was eventually delivered by caesarean.

Chronic morning sickness also returned ahead of the birth of Kirstie’s second son Oscar in August 2008.
Kirstie went on to give credit for the support she received to ensure she could follow her career in the way she did while being a mother.
I couldn’t have become a mother without help.
She said at the time: “I work away three nights a week, every other week, and I will always work. But I am no superwoman. I really couldn’t have become a mother – or continue to be a good one – without help.”
Kirstie explained: “I am eternally grateful to my nanny, and most of all to the midwives who made my two potentially traumatic births as easy as possible.”
Kirstie Allsopp and her ‘biggest regret’
Nonetheless, despite highlighting concerns about the global economy when Oscar was born, Kirstie did look back and wonder whether she should have done things differently.
She concluded: “After Bay was born I took six months off work. After Oscar, I went back to work after just three months. It was far too soon and is one of the biggest regrets of my life.”
Love It Or List It is on Channel 4 tonight (July 24) at 9pm.
