\nThe presenter is filming a home crafts series to help take everyone\u2019s minds off things. She discusses privilege, pressure and her worries about Britain\u2019s housing divideCoronavirus \u2013 latest updatesSee all our coronavirus coverageThere is a \u201cterrible fight\u201d going on in Kirstie Allsopp\u2019s kitchen.

She is putting them all up, and somehow, she says, will all observe the physical-distancing rules (yes, her house must be huge). Continue reading…
