KIRSTIE'S HANDMADE CHRISTMAS 'RESTED' FOR 2023 BY CHANNEL 4

Kirstie Allsopp will not be returning with her annual series of Handmade Christmas later this year, it's been revealed. The one-off primetime edition is unaffected.

This is understood to be part of major cost-cutting measures, which has seen the broadcast cancel Four Weddings, civilian SAS Who Dares Wins, plus reduce the series length of The Last Leg.

The daytime series sees Kirstie aim to suit you with some fabulously festive crafts, because no matter how you celebrate, big or small, when it's handmade it can be anything you want it to be.

Helping to bring the yuletide joy during the season, Kirstie's invited some truly magical makers, as well as two special little helpers who learn how to turn lonely old socks into fun festive friends.

Kirstie's Handmade Christmas is available on Channel 4 online.
