Kirstie Allsopp Denies Accusations Filming Of Her New Show Risked Infecting Her Village
Kirstie Allsopp has defended the decision to invite a camera crew into her home for her Channel 4 show Keep Crafting And Carry On.
The property presenter began hosting her new show during lockdown, as a way of keeping families entertained while the restrictions are in place.
However, since it began airing, some have criticised the choice to have an eight-person camera crew in Kirstie’s home, where filming takes place.
This included residents of her village in Devon, who were quoted in The Sun in an article that accused her of “risking infecting her village by bringing TV crew to her house”.Kirstie has since had her say on the matter on Twitter, insisting: “What I HATE about this is that makng #KeepCraftingCarryon was only positive, it kept people in work, it provided something new and engaging to watch, so many families saw it and enjoyed making the crafts, why do people have to make bad out of good?!”
After retweeting a number of fans who said the show had brought them comfort, she added: “THANK YOU SO MUCH whatever the Sun prints tomorrow, I now know for certain that many of you felt filming at home as we did, within strict protocols, was the right thing to do. #Craftmatters, Entertaining TV matters, and I’m proud of what we did.”Newsflash! I’ve been making a craftshow in my home. Remarkably the @TheSun think this is news so sent a reporter to my house. Journalists belief in their key worker status has no limits it seems. Do I have to tell them the show is actually on TV and not a big secret or will you?— Kirstie Allsopp (@KirstieMAllsopp) May 5, 2020What I HATE about this is that makng #KeepCraftingCarryon was only positive, it kept people in work, it provided something new and engaging to watch, so many families saw it and enjoyed making the crafts, why do people have to make bad out of good?!— Kirstie Allsopp (@KirstieMAllsopp) May 5, 2020Because #craftmatters it matters to so many people for so many reasons and when a national newspaper says it’s not important enough to justify making a show during Lockdown they are saying craft doesn’t matter enough. https://t.co/6cIcHlwIlu— Kirstie Allsopp (@KirstieMAllsopp) May 5, 2020THANK YOU SO MUCH whatever the Sun prints tomorrow, I now know for certain that many of you felt filming at home as we did, within strict protocols, was the right thing to do. #Craftmatters, Entertaining TV matters, and I’m proud of what we did. 🦹🏻‍♀️🐝🐞🌸🦉🥑🧻🗺🧶🧵@RTRPGlasgow— Kirstie Allsopp (@KirstieMAllsopp) May 5, 2020She also told the newspaper: “No one who was filming here went anywhere near the village. We are encouraging people to stay at home and be adaptive for their mental health — and for fun.”
A Channel 4 rep added: “All filming was carefully conducted in line with Government guidelines and the minimal crew adhered to strict protocols and followed social distancing throughout.”
Back in March, Kirstie was forced to address claims she’d broken any rules by moving her family to their home in Devon after her husband tested positive for coronavirus.
She tweeted: “During this time of national crisis many families have had difficult choices to make, in a rush, with [minimum] info. But we did what we thought was most sensible, and we did not break any rules or regulations that existed at that time.”READ MORE: Kirstie Allsopp 'Pretty Sure' She's Had Coronavirus After Husband Tests Positive Love Island Flight Attendant Amy Hart Names Kirstie Allsopp As 'Worst Celeb Passenger' Kirstie Allsopp Defends Decision To Smash Her Children's iPads
