Nick stars in a Children in Need DIY SOS special tonightDIY SOS star Nick Knowles has given fans a peek at his modest house after moving to Berkshire from the Cotswolds.
Nick, who is appearing in a DIY SOS Children in Need special tonight, shared the glimpse after his wife got busy with the Christmas lights.
The TV presenter, 63, married Katie Dadzie, 35, this summer and it is clear she is a fan of the festive season.
Standing outside their link-detached bungalow, Nick filmed a video for his Instagram followers. He said: “My wife decided that was Halloween over and Christmas was about to begin.
“The worry is, we’re on the flight path. There’s a good chance of them mistaking this for the runway.”

Nick panned the camera around to reveal hundreds of twinkling white fairy lights adoring the front of his house. There is gorgeous garland around the front door and a massive inflatable teddy bear in one corner of the front garden.
Commenting on the video, one of Nick’s followers replied: “Haha too funny Nick but I think it looks amazing!!!!!” Another wrote: “Haha, Can she come and do ours?”
Someone else told him: “Amazing. Got ours up. Never too early!”
Where does Nick Knowles live?
Nick moved to Berkshire following his engagement to businesswoman Katie in August 2023. The dad-of-four had been living in the Cotswolds but put the semi-detached property up for rent last year. According to reports, it was listed for £1,600 a month.
In a previous TV appearance, Nick explained that he prefers to live modestly rather than in a massive lavish mansion. He also got rid of 80 per cent of his belongings when he moved from London to the Cotswolds in 2000.
Nick told This Morning viewers: “I decided to change my life because I woke up one morning and went looking for my watch. I was living in a big house on my own and I went into a room I hadn’t been into for a year and I thought, ‘Well that’s ridiculous’.
“I chucked away 80 per cent of my belongings and moved to a tiny little cottage in the countryside, because I’ve got a little boy and I wanted to make real memories.”
The house Nick now lives in is a chalet bungalow. He is believed to live close to Ascot with Katie and her children.
When is DIY SOS for Children in Need on?
The Children in Need special of DIY SOS is on BBC One and BBC iPlayer tonight. It starts at 9pm looks to be a very emotional one.
Nick and the team will “make the unimaginable possible” as they transform the facilities at The Joshua Tree. The Cheshire-based charity supports families affected by childhood cancer.
