Braintree has been thrown into the limelight on TV after a house was featured on a property show with Phil Spencer and Kirstie Allsopp.

Phil, one half of the property expert partnership known for Location, Location, Location, visited the town in March and spent time in the High Street to film the new Channel 4 show Love It or List It.

The show sees Phil and Kirstie visit couples who are deciding between renovating their homes or selling up.

Phil showed Harlow couple Emma and Nigel Ford around a home in Crown Meadow, Braintree, and spent the day in town filming and mingling with High Street estate agents.

The programme, which aired last week, showed that the home was the third house the couple had visited and was the one that threw a spanner into the works.
