The TV presenter revealed her pride in her son Oscar’s jaunt - then social services panicked her by ringing her up to warn they “might come to your house”. Kirstie Allsopp says she felt “sick” after being questioned by social services for allowing her 15-year-old son to go interrailing across Europe, it has been revealed. A social worker contacted the TV presenter demanding to know what “safeguards” had been put in place when she allowed her youngest child, Oscar, to travel for three weeks on the continent.
The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, her local council, reportedly opened a file on that case which could be left open “in case there was another referral and we needed to come to your house and look into this further”. Speaking to BBC Radio 4′s Broadcasting House , she said: “I felt sick, to be honest, I felt absolutely sick.”.
