Kirstie Allsopp has revealed her father Charles has died at the age of 83, as she shared an emotional tribute on Friday.
The Location, Location, Location star, 52, revealed that Charles, who was the 6th Baron Hindlip, passed away at home on June 5.
Posting a snap of Lord Hindlip, Kirstie captioned the post: ‘This is my Dad, Charlie Hindlip. He was a great auctioneer, the best of his generation, an artist, a gardener, a father of four, and grandfather of eight, a loving husband to a wife he lost too soon.
‘He was a real star, he worked hard, played hard and went further than anyone ever expected.
‘He died at home yesterday, surrounded by love, flowers & photographs, in a house he built, looking out over a stunning garden he created from scratch.

‘I have been so proud to be his daughter all my life, and will be until the day I die. Bless you Dad, we loved you so much.’
Among those to pay tribute was fellow presenter George Clarke, who wrote: ‘I’m so sorry for your loss Kirstie … but what a beautiful beautiful words about him. Sending you the biggest hugs and mountains of love. George xxxxx.’
Charles was the former chairman of iconic London auction house Christie’s until his retirement in 2002, and his peerage means Kirstie is able to use the title ‘The Honourable.’
