UNBELIEVABLE: DIY SOS’s Nick Knowles makes SHOCKING CLAIMS about his HOUSING and MARRIAGE situation that leave viewers SPEECHLESS

Nick Knowles has made a “hilarious” claim about his recent wedding as he joked he has “never owned a house”. The DIY: SOS host wed Katie in an extravagant six-figure ceremony in June.

Nick and Katie, who is 27 years his junior, had been together for four years before they said their vows. They first crossed paths in 2019 and officially became a couple two years later in 2021. The former Strictly Come Dancing star proposed during a trip to New Orleans two years ago. Their wedding took place at the opulent Braxted Park in Essex. Now, Nick has brushed off any suggestions that lingerie businesswoman Katie, 34, married him for his wealth.

Speaking to The Telegraph, he quipped: “This idea that she’s married me for money is hilarious.”

Nick, 63, further stated: “Katie is far more intelligent and successful than me. I’ve never even owned a house and I give maybe 40 per cent of what I earn to charity.”

“Don’t get me wrong, I do all right and I can pay my bills, but I drive a 12-year-old Range Rover and the watch I’m wearing was a present.”

Nick and Katie’s paths first crossed in 2019 when Nick’s youngest son Eddie, nine, struck up a friendship with Katie’s daughter at a play centre. Just last week, Katie was rushed to hospital due to complications from life-saving surgery. The television personality shared a photo of his wife in hospital as she recuperated from the procedure.

He posted: “Poor Katie Knowles back in hospital again. More complications after her lifesaving surgery last week – but still smiling through all the pain and medical procedures. (When she’s not crying with the pain).

“I can’t tell you how much my wonderful wife has gone through over the past few months – and I don’t mean just living with me.

“The medical procedures and painful recovery, the setbacks and starting from square one again – and she does all this with enormous resilience and determination and the occasional cry. I’m so proud of her.”

Katie underwent a hysterectomy during the summer following years of agonising endometriosis pain.

However, 12 weeks into her recovery, she encountered a devastating setback when her previously stitched cervix ruptured.

She described the ordeal as “the most terrifying day I’ve ever had” and detailed horrific symptoms including excruciating abdominal pain, breathing troubles, and internal bleeding.

Taking to Instagram, Katie revealed: “The bit where they took my cervix and sealed it up ruptured which basically meant my insides went rogue, with crippling abdominal pains, difficulty breathing.

“Also incredibly painful gas, blood like Moses parting the Red Sea, fluid, and even my bowel where it definitely didn’t belong,” she continued, detailing her shocking symptoms.

“When it happened, I was in so much pain I couldn’t move or walk and just cried on my own in the kitchen from 2-5.30am. I nearly passed out from the pain.”
