Nick Knowles was all smiles as he arrived at the Chelsea Flower Show hand-in-hand with his business owner girlfriend, Katie Dadzie.
The 59-year-old DIY SOS star was smart-casual for his day at the gardening festival – arriving in a baby blue sports jacket, a dark, open-neck shirt, white trousers, and tan coloured shoes.
Ready for anything the weather might throw at him, Nick also carried an umbrella – as the forecast on Monday was highs of 18C and scattered showers.
The star's girlfriend Katie, meanwhile, looked summer ready in a delightful light blue floral print dress, strappy heeled sandals, and a chic cream coloured cardi-coat.
The 32-year-old mother-of-two and sex toy business owner had a subtle touch of ‘80s style at the ready too – as she had a scrunchie wrapped around her wrist, ready to tie up her brown hair if necessary.
The pair were guests at the VIP & press preview day for the flower show – held at The Royal Hospital on Royal Hospital Road in West London, with the event going on until Saturday 28 May.
Nick and Katie have been dating since the summer of 2021 and looked very relaxed as they strolled together to the flower show on Monday.
Father-of-four Nick has previously defended his girlfriend after vicious online trolls branded her a gold digger after noting the 27-year age gap between the pair.
Rounding on the online bullies, Nick warned he would not stand by and allow them to take shots at “people I care about.”
He told The Sun earlier this month: “I choose to be on TV. As a result, I expect the whole nine yards. I am up there as an object. I’ve chosen to be on TV but my children, or my family, or people I date, for them I feel it’s unfair to have a go at them.
“What upset was the judgment of her without knowing anything about her. Or what her motivations might be. I found that upsetting and unfair and felt I needed to say something about it.
“By all means have a go at me, I’m there to be shot at verbally on social media and the rest of it because of what I’ve chosen to do as a living.”
His comments came after her earlier hit out at trolls who accused Katie of being a gold digger to highlight the fact that she’s actually more successful than he is.
He wrote a furious response of Twitter, beginning: “I’m raging."
He continued: “The woman I was out to dinner with when we were papped is 32, has degrees in two subjects, runs 3 businesses, is a mother of 2, is wealthier & more successful than me & is intelligent & independent unlike the abusive trolls attacking her.”
He added: “What happened to #bekind?”
Nick was married to his first wife Gillian, from 1995 until 2000 and then moved on to date TV presenter Suzi Perry from 2000 until 2003.
He then married Jessica Moore – who is 26-years his junior, battled cancer in 2016, and welcomed a son named Eddie with the TV star.
Their marriage began in 2012, but ended in 2016 – with Nick later moving on to date PR expert Emily Hallinan before splitting with her in 2020 and then moving on to Katie.
