Kirstie Allsopp insists she did nothing wrong by bringing TV crew to film at her house

Kirstie Allsopp has insisted she did nothing wrong by bringing a TV crew to film at her house during lockdown.

The TV presenter, 48, is said to have infuriated neighbours in Devon by working with a team of eight at her home on a crafting show.

One resident told The Sun : "Many of us are elderly. It’s highly irresponsible."

However, Kirstie is adamant she didn't break any rules, declaring: "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."

She was working on Channel 4 show Keep Crafting and Carry On.

Every member of the crew is said to have self-isolated for weeks in advance to prepare for filming, while Kirstie is said to have turned her outdoor tennis court into a canteen for the workers.

They are believed to have shot 10 episodes of the show during their two weeks in Devon.

It comes weeks after Kirstie came under fire for moving her family to their home in Devon to self isolate after her partner tested positive for coronavirus.

The telly star's partner Ben was battling Covid-19, and she said she also had symptoms.

She later took to Twitter to insist she did nothing wrong as the house where they are now living is their full-time home.

Kirstie tweeted: "During this time of national crisis many families have had difficult choices to make, in a rush, with minion info.

"But we did what we thought was most sensible, and we did not break any rules or regulations that existed at that time."

Mirror Online has contacted a representative for Kirstie for comment,
