TV presenter Phil Spencer has returned to filming Location, Location, Location with co-host Kirstie Allsopp, less than a month after the death of both his parents in a car accident. Phil's parents, Anne and David, died on their farm in Littlebourne, Kent, after their car toppled off a bridge and into a river while on their way to have lunch on 18 August.
Kent Fire and Rescue Service was called and spent 90 minutes at the scene – but the couple, who had been married for 60 years, tragically passed away together in the crash. On Tuesday, Kirstie shared a video with Phil on Instagram confirming the pair had returned to filming their hit Channel 4 property programme, which they've both starred in for 39 series.
The 52 year old said: “So we’re back at work filming on Location, Location, Location, and I didn’t quite know what my next post on Instagram should be because the last post was about Phil’s mum and dad, and you all put such lovely, lovely messages and Phil was so grateful.” Phil interjected: “I’m very grateful, and I haven’t put anything on Instagram either, but I do appreciate people’s lovely, lovely comments.” Kirstie continued: “You see, he’s English, and he is a man, and he’s just done really, really well. “So a round of applause to Phil for doing that, and thank you.
“You’ve all been so kind.” Dynamic duo Phil and Kirstie have presented Location, Location, Location together for more than 20 years and have also starred in spin-off shows including Relocation, Relocation. It was Kirstie who broke the news of the death of Phil's parents on Instagram, telling fans to join her in “sending so much love” to her co-star.
