Nick Knowles has recently opened up about the challenges he and his fiance, Katie Dadzie, face in their relationship. The 62-year-old Strictly Come Dancing star revealed that his fiance has at times questioned their relationship due to the negative attention she receives.
Knowles, who is engaged to 34-year-old lingerie business owner Katie Dadzie, shared that Dadzie has been subjected to “horrible racist abuse” whenever their pictures together surface in the media. Additionally, Dadzie has had to endure being labelled a “gold digger” on her personal Instagram account.
In a candid interview with The Times, Knowles expressed his disappointment at the unfair treatment his fiance receives, stating, “It’s really unpleasant and unfair.” He further explained that despite the challenges, their love for each other remains strong. Knowles acknowledged Dadzie’s concerns but reiterated that they both deeply care for each other.
The DIY SOS presenter, who has been married twice before and has children from previous relationships, emphasised the importance of not letting past difficulties hinder one’s ability to find love. Knowles believes in being brave and open to the possibility of happiness, despite the scrutiny his relationships often attract.
Reflecting on his time on Strictly Come Dancing, where he is partnered with professional dancer Luba Mushtuk, Knowles described the experience as “really joyous” and expressed gratitude for the support he has received. During a recent live show, Knowles was caught making a light-hearted comment to Mushtuk, injecting humour into their rehearsals.
As the couple navigates the challenges brought on by public attention, Knowles remains optimistic about their relationship. Despite the spotlight on their personal lives, the couple stands united, focusing on their love and shared journey.
