Renovate vs relocate: Kirstie Allsopp and Phil Spencer meet a couple, with one partner usually wanting to stay in their home and the other desperate to move.

Meanwhile, her TV ‘husband’ Phil shows them alternative properties — most of which, admittedly, tend to be either unsuitable or too expensive.
