DIY SOS star Nick Knowles blasts trolls for ‘upsetting’ comments about his girlfriend

OHMYGOSSIP — Nick Knowles has blasted trolls for “upsetting and unfair” remarks about his girlfriend.
The ‘DIY: SOS’ presenter – who has helmed the BBC show since 1999 – was furious after social media trolls accused his 31-year-old partner Katie Dadzie of having ulterior motives for their relationship.
He told The Sun newspaper: “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 me 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.”
He insisted while his own career choice means he is “there to be shot at verbally on social media”, there has to be a line.
Nick added: “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.
“But it feels a bit unfair to have a go at people I care about.”
The 59-year-old presenter also addressed the way people perceive those in the public eye, while he accused other unnamed celebrities as believing their own hype.
He said: “People have a view of celebrities. I consider what I do very much a job. It’s an unusual job and it’s in the public eye.
“A lot of people who do what I do actually start believing in their own press releases – they are special and important.
“I always assume when people meet me that they think I must be that arrogant TV presenter. A lot of people in our industry start from the idea that people actually must be impressed to meet them.”
