Paul Black and Kirstie Allsopp in Twitter spat after comedian's joke about young homeowners sparks reaction

Scots comedian Paul Black has found himself in a Twitter spat with TV presenter Kirstie Allsopp after making a tongue in cheek post on Twitter. Paul appeared to take a swipe at a comment Kirstie supposedly said back at the start of the year, that young people can be homeowners if they give up luxuries like coffee.

The 50-year-old said if hopeful homeowners were serious about saving up their money, they should let go of their Netflix and gym memberships as well as wasting money on coffees.

As well as giving up luxuries, she suggested young people should just move in with their parents or move 'up North' into cheaper areas if they are struggling to afford their lifestyles alongside saving for a house.
