From topless model to TV favorite
Nick Knowles, now 62, recently made headlines with newly-emerged topless modeling photos from 1989, showing a stark contrast to his current TV persona. The DIY SOS star posed for the camera in a bid for stardom at the age of 27 in Middlesex.
Offensive remarks on set
While Nick didn't find success as a model, he transitioned into television production and presenting. However, recent reports have surfaced about offensive remarks he allegedly made during the filming of DIY SOS: The Big Build. A woman working with a charity claimed he made lewd comments and inappropriate remarks, leaving her feeling embarrassed and belittled.
Revealing the real Nick
The woman, who chose to remain anonymous, recounted how Nick allegedly made inappropriate comments about women in North Shields and tried to dissuade her from getting married. She described feeling humiliated by his behavior and decided to speak out after seeing him on Strictly Come Dancing.
Backlash and response
PR experts and viewers alike have criticized Nick for his alleged behavior, calling it a reflection of his values towards women. While the BBC declined to comment on the specific incident, they stated their stance against inappropriate behavior and their commitment to addressing any issues raised.
Final thoughts
Last night, Nick responded by stating he interacts with numerous people in his line of work and may not recall every conversation. His partnership with dance pro Luba Mushtuk on Strictly has brought renewed attention to his past actions.
