‘I don’t have the energy for a girl’: Kirstie Allsopp admits she would love to have another baby at 47 but only if she can guarantee it’s a boy
Kirstie Allsopp has revealed that she is keen on having another child at the age of 47, but only if she can guarantee that it’s a boy.
Confessing that she ‘doesn’t have the energy for a girl’, the TV presenter has admitted she is keen on giving her sons Oscar, 12, and Bay, 10, another brother.
Speaking to Best, Kirstie, who is also step mum to her partner Ben Andersen’s two sons, Hal, 17, and Orion, 19, stated: ‘I can never remember not wanting children. If you could guarantee me another boy, I’d love another one.’

Kirstie added: ‘I’m not sure I have the energy for a girl at this point in my life.’
The Location, Location, Location star also added that she is very keen on being a grandmother, especially now that her eldest step-son is almost 20.
However, she confessed that her brood also tease her about it: ‘My children know how desperate I am, so they know a good way to tease me is to say, “I never want children.’
Kirstie has sons Bay Atlas, 12, and Oscar Hercules, 11, with the property tycoon, as well as raising two stepchildren, aged 17 and 19.

When it comes to her family, last month Kirstie revealed Twitter abuse over her decision to smash her sons’ iPads caused her to quit social media to protect her children.
Kirstie shocked in September of last year when she revealed she had broken her children’s tablets against a ‘table leg’ after they failed to stick to her rules on screen time.
And Kirstie admitted the slew of negative comments were too much for her to cope with in an interview with The Sun, leading her to close her Twitter account.
She said: ‘I didn’t want them to see that and that’s why I shut down the account. I usually get zero abuse on Twitter — there are controversies and people give their opinion — but it was the first time I’d been abused.’

‘A lot of the gamers went nuts. I think they felt that someone was trying to cut their willy off or something.’
Kirstie confessed back in September on The Jeremy Vine Show to smashing the iPads against a table leg as her children watched as punishment.
Her boys had failed to follow her rules about screen time, and Kirstie said that since dishing out the drastic discipline the brothers have spent more time outdoors playing.

Punishment: Kirstie confessed back in September on The Jeremy Vine Show to smashing the iPads against a table leg as her children watched as punishment
Speaking to Jeremy Vine on the panel, Kirstie said: ‘This is the first time I’ve said this publicly. In June I smashed my kids’ iPads, not in a violent way. I actually banged them on the table leg.’
She added: ‘There is a game called Fortnite and another called PUBG and I decided -we had made all sorts of rules and all sorts of times when we said you can’t play them and all those rules got broken and in the end I said: ‘Right that is it, I have to physically [break them].’
However not everyone agreed with her approach to discipline, with many branding the move a ‘waste’ on Twitter, arguing that they could have been donated them to less well-off families, and that her sons would not learn to ‘value their things’.
