Does Kate workout? She has a lovely figure!
Her voice and accent are most irritating to me. I wonder does she speak to her family like that?
I am a Northerner, not a lover of many in her neck of the woods, especially London. However, I really like her and how she treats and talks to people. I can’t understand what your problem is with her, if you said this about the obnoxious Anita Manning, I would understand.
It’s me, John Hickson, I got my information wrong, I was under the impression that she was from Hertfordshire, in fact, it is Herefordshire. I have no problem with people from that area whatsoever. I want to apologize for my earlier misguided comments, to the good people of that wonderful County
It is The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors and Philip Serrel is in Malvern, or his auction room is.
Herefordshire NOT Heresfordshire
would like to know if her parents or grandparents went to st helens school I think in the 50 ties barry south wales
I also came on this website to find her maiden name.
She is delightful and highly intelligent.
Is it possible to explain why Kate Bliss has never fronted the Bargain Hunt program and I have never seen her become an auctioneer on the programme.
I only looked on here cos I couldn’t remember her maiden name. Alcock haha.
