The new series continues as Kirstie Allsopp and Phil Spencer help more homeowners to resolve their dilemmas, rejuvenate their homes and decide whether to stay put or start afresh. Kirstie catches up with Kathleen and Tom, who we first met back in 2016 when their charming three-bed Victorian terrace in Gosforth, Newcastle, had become a four-year Love It or List It battleground. While its character and location - just 10 minutes from the city centre - initially won them over, the home quickly became a logistical nightmare. For Tom, the lack of outdoor space, parking and storage was a dealbreaker. After all, housing four boats, five canoes and five bikes isn't a small ask. But Kathleen was determined to make it work for them and their two daughters. All she needed was Kirstie's expertise to convince Tom that it was possible. Armed with a £20,000 Love It budget, Kirstie delivered an ingenious redesign, overhauling the downstairs layout to maximise space.

Expect big reveals and plenty of surprises.
