He turns 60 in September, but Nick Knowles’ relationship with 31-year-old Katie Daji is growing strong – eight months after the couple was first spotted dating.
They celebrated Easter with a romantic dinner in London’s Mayfair, then walked hand in hand while shopping in shop windows, enjoying a few kisses along the way.
One viewer said: “Nick and his girlfriend looked very loved as they wandered the streets. They smiled and laughed as they watched the new Bentleys through the showroom window before hoping to take a cab together.
The two were romantically linked for the first time in August, after the DIY SOS Knowles star met the young mother of two in a children’s group attended by his youngest son.
This is not the first time Knowles has dated a woman almost half his age. He had previously dated PR wife Emily Halinan, 27, claiming that “it was not the end of the world to be single for a while” when they separated in February 2020.

The relationship came after the father of four separated from his second wife, Jessica Rose Moore, now 33, in 2016. The couple shared his youngest child, seven-year-old Eddie.
Knowles had previously complained that it was difficult for him to break up. “They last for six months and start with my explanation that I work a lot, so I will have problems with commitments,” he said. “The women involved agree that this is good, then a month later I get a phone call and they say, ‘This is not included.’ After three months we broke up, then we get together again. After five there is a new battle. At six, everything is off. ”
As a TV presenter, Knowles was hit when he was told that two of his BBC series would not return. The Who Dares Wins lottery show was discontinued after a 12-year hiatus in 2019, while Home is Where the Art dropped out in 2020 after just two series.

He was fired from DIY SOS last year after dressing as a builder to promote Shreddies breakfast cereal, which was against BBC rules. He has since returned to work.

Katie is not the first younger woman Nick has dated.
He had previously been spotted reassuring himself with PR singer Emily Halinan in 2019 – who was 30 years younger than him – and the couple had been dating for a year before announcing their split in 2020.

Nick said he was single on Twitter at the time, telling his followers not to worry about Valentine’s Day, as he would spend it alone.
Just days before he first saw Emily, Nick was spotted enjoying the company of a mysterious blonde.
Back in 2018, Nick was announced to have embarked on a new affair with marketing director Rebecca Kearns – who was also 30 years younger than him.
A year earlier, in 2017, Nick got involved in the TOWIE-level drama after being linked to one of her stars, Pascal Kramer, who reportedly went on a series of meetings she called “terrible.”

She continued to accuse Nick of having a “midlife crisis” and said she blocked him after he dumped her to date other women.
However, a friend of Nick’s later blamed Pascal’s allegations that they had met “madmen” and said they had only met once as a favor to her manager at the time.
In 2016, former Emmerdale star Gemma Auton was left in tears after their short affair fell apart as they lay together in bed.
At the time, she claimed, the DIY SOS star suddenly became cold and distant after being photographed cuddling together at an awards ceremony.

Following the publication of the photos, Nick ruled out other meetings with Gemma after claiming that he was trying to save his marriage to his (then) estranged wife Jessica Rose Moore.
Jessica, who is 26 years younger than Nick, was married to the presenter from 2012 to 2016 and the couple share son Eddie together.
But Jessica said earlier that she was “blinded” by Nick’s decision to separate in January 2016 after four years of marriage.
Despite the separation of the couple, Jessica and Nick remained close at the time, and she credited Nick with saving her life while battling cervical cancer.
Still, things got nasty two years later after she accused him of “emotional cruelty” in a fierce Twitter attack.

Later, the parents managed to solve their problems.
Before Jessica, he met host Susie Perry, whom he met on the set of BBC City Hospital from 2000 to 2003.
He also enjoyed a brief romance with beauty therapist Paula Beckett-Vas – with whom he shares his son Tyrian-Jay – and was married to his first wife, Gillian Knowles, for five years since 1995.
The couple shared two grown children together – Charlie, 27, and daughter Tuesday, 26.
