Kirstie Allsopp has hit out at the way working families leave caring for elderly relatives to the state while preparing to inherit their money.

The outspoken Location, Location, Location presenter said the 'extraordinary failure' to 'properly care for our elderly' was what had emerged 'most clearly' from the pandemic.

Miss Allsopp, pictured, said that when 'both halves' of a couple are working it 'leaves less time both for the old and for the young'.

The 50-year-old, who has two sons with her property developer partner and is stepmother to his two children, was responding to a tweet by a paediatrician about the ambulance crisis being caused by the social care backlog.
