Episode 9

Kirstie Allsopp and Phil Spencer head back to Albrighton in Shropshire to catch up with Jamie Lea and Curtis. Back in 2019 they'd reached a stalemate after buying and doing up their three-bedroom terrace home. At the time, psychology student Jamie Lea wanted to settle down and enjoy family life with their daughter Scarlett and their soon-to-be-born second child. But Curtis had itchy feet and was constantly trawling the internet for their next doer-upper. He wanted a bigger house with a better garden in the countryside for their growing family. Kirstie came up with a plan to give them the family space they needed, but with a tight Love It budget of £30,000, Curtis and Jamie Lea had to use every ounce of elbow grease and savvy to stretch it as far as possible. Meanwhile, Phil's List It budget of £280,000 was equally tough. He scoured the area and found three stunning properties to win over Jamie Lea, including a huge four-bed project, but what did the couple decide to do in the end? Four years on, Phil catches up with Jamie Lea, Curtis and their growing family to find out what happened next.
