Nick Knowles, 62, looks downcast as he joins his stylish fiancée Katie Dadzie, 34, for lunch date in the sun
The DIY SOS star, 62, appeared tired as he rubbed his eyes throughout the meal while the lingerie businesswoman, 34, was seen smoking a cigarette.
Katie looked stylish as she opted for a red and white floral summer dress and sunglasses while tying her hair up off her face in a ponytail.
She accessorised with a brown Louis Vuitton handbag and showed off her large diamond engagement ring with matching diamond earrings.
Meanwhile Nick seemed slightly overdressed for the weather as he opted for a long-sleeved navy shirt and beige trousers.
Arriving at the restaurant he added a matching navy blazer and smart brown leather shoes.
The pair tucked into their meal in the sun as Nick was seen looking serious throughout the conversation.
The lingerie brand boss began dating the TV star in 2021 after they met when their children became friends at a play centre.
Yet the pair have been subject to cruel trolling during their relationship, with critics mocking their age difference and financial setup.
Speaking exclusively to MailOnline, about the 'gold digger' jibes, Katie admitted they don't get to her as much as they used to because she and Nick know its not true.
She said: 'I think at the start, it was probably more irritating, especially for my family. But now those comments kind of just pass over me because we both know it's not true.
'Nick works hard, he has what he has. I work hard, I have what I have and then we buy each other stuff.'
Katie continued: 'We're both really comfortable with where we are with that and you will always get it because there's an age gap.
'I know plenty of people who are together and the same age where someone's using the other one for money and they're not happy.

Nick has an estimated £7.5 million net worth but Katie has built up an impressive lingerie brand, having launched Boa Boa in 2022
'So as long as I know it's not true and he knows it's not true, I think that's, that's pretty much all that matters.'
Nick has an estimated £7.5 million net worth but Katie has built up an impressive lingerie brand, having launched Boa Boa in 2022.
She has proved to be her own best advert for the brand, modelling the skimpy looks to her 102,000 Instagram followers.
Katie revealed her battle with endometriosis has impacted the pictures she posts as she is now on a mission to show off her 'real' figure.
Endometriosis is a condition where tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside of the uterus. It can cause pelvic pain, heavy periods, and difficulty getting pregnant.
Speaking about how she wants to represent real women Katie shared : 'I've got slightly better at trying to show slightly more real, as in I've put weight on recently so I know I can't just have the better picture of me where I haven't eaten at the start of the morning.
'I've got horrendous endometriosis, so I do bloat terribly but that's the company ethos that it's underwear that's made to fit you regardless of your size.'

Imported dogs could carry disease or behaviour risk, RSPCA warns
He said: 'One reason that there is such an interest in dogs with cropped ears is that a lot of influencers on Instagram and other social media platforms pose with these dogs or show they have these new dogs with cropped ears. Many people aren't aware that this is a mutilation.

Alex Jones had ‘no idea' about complaints made against Jermaine Jenas
The former Tottenham Hotspur midfielder was removed from the presenting team at BBC's Match Of The Day and The One Show following alleged issues relating to workplace conduct. Before he was sacked in August, Jenas had been a regular pundit on sports programmes and a presenter on BBC Radio 5 Live. Alex Jones attending the 2025 Bafta Television Awards with P&O Cruises at Southbank Centre's Royal Festival Hall in London (Jordan Pettitt/PA) Jones, 48, who co-presented with Jenas on The One Show, told the Big Issue she did not know about the complaints until he had left. She said: 'I very much take people on face value. But with JJ [Jenas] I didn't know what was going on. 'I had no idea. I thought he was taking extended leave. 'The BBC didn't share with me what was going on until they actually dealt with it. And, you know, they did what they thought was right. 'If that was my daughter and she felt uncomfortable with someone's behaviour, I hope that whatever company she was working for would deal with it swiftly as well.' Jermaine Jenas insists he has taken responsibility for the conduct which led to his dismissal (Nigel French/PA) After being sacked from the BBC, Jenas apologised, saying he had done 'nothing illegal' and that 'inappropriate messages' sent were 'between two consenting adults'. Months later, Jenas' wife, Ellie Penfold, announced the couple had split up after 16 years together. In a statement on her Instagram story, Penfold said: 'I never imagined I would have to share something so personal with the public, but given the situation, I feel it's necessary. 'After 16 years together and 4 wonderful children, Jermaine and I have decided to part ways. 'We will remain friends and continue to co-parent.' Alex Jones and Jason Manford stand outside Western House, London, after appearing on Chris Evans's Radio 2 breakfast show (Fiona Hanson/PA) Jenas returned to broadcasting on TalkSport radio in February after the outlet distanced itself from him in the wake of his departure from the BBC. It is not the first time Jones has had a co-presenter leave The One Show with Jason Manford, who joined the programme at the same time as her in August 2010, resigning only three months into the role for sharing sexual internet messages with female fans. Despite co-presenting on the show for a few months, Jones said she is still 'really good pals' with Manford. – The full interview with Alex Jones can be read in this week's Big Issue, on sale now.

Hulk Hogan's son pays tribute to 'greatest dad in the world' in emotional post
Nick posted a carousel of pictures of him and his dad over the years and thanked everyone for reaching out during this "overwhelming and extremely difficult" time Hulk Hogan's son has paid tribute to his father in a heartbreaking post, following his sudden death earlier this week. The wrestling icon,whose real name is Terry Bollea, died on Thursday morning after suffering a cardiac arrest at his Clearwater mansion in Florida. Reports claim that medics were sent to Hulk's home after getting a call regarding someone suffering an alleged cardiac arrest. Hulk was 71 years old. Hulk shared two children – daughter, Brooke and son Nick – with ex wife Linda Hogan. Days after Hulk's death, Nick posted a carousel of pictures of him and his dad and thanked everyone for reaching out during this "overwhelming and extremely difficult" time. Nick wrote, "Hearing so many kind words and stories about my dad's life, interactions and experiences with everyone has been incredible and comforting. "My dad was the most incredible person I've ever known and will always be my hero. He was the most kind, loving and amazing father anybody could ask for. I feel so blessed to have had the greatest dad in the world. He was not only the best dad but also my mentor and my best friend. "He always has been my best friend and I love him and miss him more than I could ever explain. I thanked him for everything he has ever done for me and told him how much I loved him and hugged him every chance I got. I spent a lot of time with him the past few years after moving back to Florida to be closer to him and I am so grateful for those memories. They are the best moments in my life. "I would do anything to have him back but I know now that he will always be watching over me. I will always remember the lessons and advice he gave me and carry on in a way that I know would make him proud. Thank you for being the best dad in the world and thank you for being my best friend. I love you so much Big Dog and I will miss you forever." On Friday, in the first live event since his death, the WWE remembered Hogan in a poignant memorial before kicking off SmackDown. Wrestling great Triple H, who now works as the company's chief content officer, paid homage to his former colleague before a traditional 10-bell salute was held in his memory. Triple H, whose real name is Paul Levesque, said: "Ladies and gentleman, yesterday we lost one of the biggest and most globally recognized icons in the world." A number of WWE figures looked visibly emotional during the 10-bell salute, including his former manager Jimmy Hart, who was seen wiping away tears. The likes of Randy Orton, Logan Paul, Charlotte Flair and Cody Rhodes were also seen paying their respects to Hogan on the stage.
