Television presenter Kirstie Allsopp has become embroiled in a heated social media exchange with acclaimed children’s author Michael Rosen, after she accused some users of a free London public transport pass for pensioners of "bankrupting our country".
The 54-year-old Location, Location, Location host directed her comments at 79-year-old We’re Going On A Bear Hunt author Rosen on X/Twitter, following his post on the platform lamenting that his Transport for London (TfL) Freedom Pass was not working and he could not obtain a replacement.
