DIY SOS presenter Nick Knowles’ dating history including TOWIE and BB stars

DIY SOS star Nick Knowles, 57, is single, having split from his PR girlfriend Emily Hallinan back in January.

The star recently opened up about his newfound bachelor status, explaining he was in a better place than he has been for a long time.

The presenter revealed: ”There are times in your life when you are with someone, and there are times when you’re not. And being single can actually be a very positive thing.

 

“Having a three-month, enforced sit-down has actually been one of the best things that’s happened to me in my life.”

He then continued to The Sun: “I feel in a better place now than I have done for probably 20 years, just spending some time getting to know yourself before re-entering the fray.”

Nick has previously spoken out about his “commitment issues”.

He once told the Daily Mail: “My relationships have pretty much followed a pattern.

“They last six months and start off with me explaining that I work a lot, so will have commitment issues.

“The women involved agree that that is fine, then after a month I get a phone call saying, ‘This isn’t on.’

“After three months, we split up, then get back together. After five, there’s another tussle. At six, it’s all off.”

But who has the Nick dated in the past? Let’s take a look back at his dating history…
