Kirstie Allsopp has issued an urgent message to her followers on social media.

The Location, Location, Location star, 53, took to X, formerly Twitter, to track down the owner of a lost backpack. She posted: “Is this the contents of your rucksack? Did you get it nicked in Notting Hill this evening? We’ve found it. Please RT.”

Later, she updated fans with good news, writing: “Great news about backpack - my friend found a tel on the laundry ticket and texted him - the guy had his car broken into but is thrilled about the hard drive …Phew!”

It comes just days after the property expert shared a cryptic post following the BBC's announcement that Gary Lineker will be stepping down from hosting Match of the Day.

The 63-year-old former footballer, who has been the face of the iconic football highlights show since 1999, is set to exit after the season wraps up in May 2025.

On social media, she wrote: "No presenter is indispensable, sobering as it is for someone like me, it’s no bad thing to be reminded of that. Enjoy the job while you have it, KMA because nothing is forever."

One of her followers in the comments section replied: "Is this an announcement or have I missed something?", to which Kirstie typed back: "Gary Lineker."

Just a few weeks ago, the Daily Mail claimed to have obtained sight of an internal BBC email which shows a statement cutting ties with Lineker. The BBC denied any notion of Gary's departure at the time.

They stated to the publication: "We have nothing to announce, and we have not agreed next steps with regard to his contract. He is on contract until the end of the season."

Gary has been the BBC’s highest-paid on-air talent for seven consecutive years and was estimated to have earned £1.35 million in the year 2023/24, according to the corporation’s annual report published in July.

Amid speculation on who will be replacing the star, a BBC statement read: “Future plans for Match of the Day will be announced in due course.”

Meanwhile, Kirstie is best known for co-hosting Location, Location, Location alongside Phil Spencer. With a career spanning over two decades, she’s become a trusted face in the world of home buying and renovation, also hosting shows Love It or List It, Relocation, Relocation, and Location Revisited.
