Location, Location, Location presenter Kirstie Allsopp has taken to Twitter to respond to comments asking whether she's worried her hit Channel 4 property show could be cancelled following the privatisation of the broadcaster.The property expert, 50, claimed that her and Phil Spencer's property programme is likely to remain on the channel thanks to its huge popularity as she claims it makes the channel a "fortune".In view of her 426,600 followers, Kirstie set the record straight over whether she is fearful for the future of her show.She wrote: "Let’s just get this out of the way, LLL makes a fortune for C4, shows like mine are very unlikely to be axed, it’s news & current affairs, and cutting edge dramas which are likely to be thinned out."Profit will be king and the passion & inclusion of Channel 4 will be lost," she added.Kirstie's remarks come after a fan of the show questioned why she had been so vocal against the privatisation of Channel 4.Twitter user @iamchica asked the star why she was so "angry" at the prospect of the channel being made private.They wrote: "Are you worried your LLL show could be axed eventually hence so much anger and protest from you???"Their tweet came after Kirstie shared her thoughts on the move, after it was announced yesterday that the government will push ahead with the privatisation of the channel, despite the broadcaster urging to keep it under public ownership.She wrote: "Believe me, anyone in TV who supports the sale of Channel 4 is doing so because they fancy a slice of the pie."Whatever their politics, people who really love British television know the part Channel plays in creating great UK content," Kirstie added.Following her thoughts on the matter, the star was soon inundated.
