Nick Knowles has tied the knot with his fiancée Katie Dazie.
The DIY SOS presenter, 62, cut a sharp figure in a dusky pink jacket after exchanging vows with his lingerie brand boss bride, 34, during a lavish six-figure wedding at Braxted Park, Essex on Saturday.
Meanwhile, the new Mrs Knowles was sure to turn heads as she opted for a quirky blue and white floral patterned gown for her big day.
The stunning bride looked gorgeous in the striking strapless a-line gown, which she paired with a traditional white veil and pearl jewellery.
The happy couple looked in good spirits as they sipped champagne while joining their guests outside the idyllic country house for group photos.

In new pictures, Nick looked as proud as punch as he strolled with a pal in the grounds of the Essex venue amid his wedding day.
The Strictly Come Dancing star teamed his blazer with a white shirt, black trousers and a black bow tie, adding a further splash of colour with a purple boutonniere.
The couple began dating in 2021 after they met when their children became friends at a play centre and got engaged in 2023.
Katie confirmed the countdown was 'on' until their big day in an Instagram post last Friday, with the couple having been snapped running errands since as they prepared for the nuptials.
The couple are said to have spared no expense on their special day, which will be attended by a whole host of celebrity guests, including Nick's Strictly co-stars.
A source told the The Sun: 'He's invited all of his famous pals, including his Strictly co-stars so it's going to be a proper showbiz bash.
'Katie's dress is beautiful and is going to blow people away.'
Nick starred on Strictly Come Dancing last year alongside the likes of Sarah Hadland, JB Gill, Love Island's Tasha Ghouri and Pete Wicks, though it was Chris McCausland who ultimately took home the glitterball.
Last month, Katie kicked off the wedding celebrations with her hen do at luxury boutique hotel Karma Sanctum, where she was joined by close friends Kirsty Shaw-Rayner and Sherene Fuller.
The group arrived on a beer bus and then headed through party district Soho wearing Nick Knowles face masks, much to the amusement of Katie, ahead of partying at Karma Sanctum.
Katie was later entertained by two buff men dressed as a fireman and policeman as the party carried on into the early hours.
The bride-to-be stepped out for her hen night in a white strapless mini-dress and diamante heels with her brunette locks styled in waves.
Katie and the TV star have been subject to cruel trolling during their relationship, with critics mocking their age difference and financial setup.
Katie grinned from ear-to-ear as she showed off the ring Nick had given her which was in fact a gummy sweet
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.
'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.
Back in October, Nick admitted he almost lost Katie after she was left questioning the relationship due to the intense trolling.
Giving her take on the unwanted public attention, she confessed it has put a strain on the relationship: 'We've had like ups and downs with it because I am not from that background at all.
'Nick I think generally has a very thick skin to it and he's very good at dealing with it. I'm not.'
TV star Nick, who split from his wife Jessica Rose Moor in 2016, made his first appearance with Katie in September 2021, after ending his romance with PR guru Emily Hallinan in February 2020.
Nick and Katie made their public debut as a couple at a restaurant in Bath after being friends for several years.
He was also previously married to Gillian Knowles from 1996 to 2000.
Katie has daughters Savannah, nine, and Alex, six, from a previous relationship, whereas Nick has four children from three different relationships.
He shares his daughter Tuesday and son Charlie with his ex-wife Gillian, while he shares another son, TJ, with dancer Paula Beckett.
Nick also has son Eddie, who was born in 2014, with his ex-wife Jessica, and the presenter met Katie through his youngest son.
Katie shared that her two children had befriended Nick's son Eddie and said they got to know each other through their kids socialising.
However, the Boobbix owner admitted that she didn't originally like Nick and said it took her a while to warm up to him.
Speaking about meeting Nick, she said: 'I actually didn't like him very much (...) 'I'm very shy and quiet, while Nick is quite extroverted and a complete chatterbox.'
Katie joked that Nick initially didn't give her much opportunity to talk but said when they went on a coffee date, she got to know him better and realised they had a lot in common.
She said they then spent a lot of time talking on the phone during lockdown - and the pair have been going from strength-to-strength in their romance ever since.

Strictly star Nick Knowles, 62, marries Katie Dadzie, 34, in lavish ceremony

Congratulations are in order for Nick Knowles, who has tied the knot with his girlfriend, Katie Dadzie. The DIY SOS presenter, 62, wed his 34-year-old partner this weekend in a romantic ceremony in Essex. Nick, who also took part in Strictly Come Dancing last series, got hitched at Braxted Park Estate, which is somewhat of a celebrity wedding hotspot, given that it's also where Rylan Clark married Dan Neal in 2015. Their lavish celebrations are rumoured to have cost six figures, with photos from their special day showing a large number of guests. Snaps capture Nick and Katie's loved ones outside the venue, gathering for photos. Wake up to find news on your TV shows in your inbox every morning with Metro's TV Newsletter.

Katie, who co-owns lingerie brand Boa Boa with her now-husband, opted to defy tradition with her dress. Straying from convention, she looked stunning in a strapless white gown adorned with blue flowers. She wore her brunette locks in a chic updo, accessorising simply with a silver necklace and, of course, her latest addition to the jewellery collection, a dazzling ring. Meanwhile, Nick also pushed against the typical groom attire, looking dapper in a blush pink tuxedo with black lapels, completing the look with a bowtie. A source previously shared that 'no expense had been spared' for Nick and Katie's nuptials. 'Nick and Katie's big day is taking place at Braxted Park, a stunning location in Essex,' they spilled to The Sun ahead of the lovebirds saying 'I do.' 'He's invited all of his famous pals, including his Strictly co-stars, so it's going to be a proper showbiz bash. 'Katie's dress is beautiful and is going to blow people away. Nick and Katie's guests will be treated to delicious food and amazing entertainment – really no expense has been spared.' It's currently unknown which of Nick's Strictly pals attended his wedding, but he featured on the BBC dance series alongside JB Gill, Tasha Ghouri, Wynne Evans, Wynne Evans, Jamie Borthwick, Sam Quek, and eventual winner Chris McCausland. Alas, Nick's own Strictly journey came to a sour end when he suffered a series of brutal injuries in training. He was forced to sit out of Movie Week with his pro partner, Luba Mushtuk, returning with a Paddington-themed routine the following Saturday, which ended up being his final hurrah. At the start of 2025, Nick revealed it was going to take eight months for him to recover fully after undergoing two surgeries: one to reattach his bicep and one to reconstruct his knee. By his side through the rehabilitation process, though, has been Katie. Following his Strictly stint, then-fiancée Katie warned that Nick was 'a shell of a man' due to being 'exhausted'. She started dating him in 2021, having met when their children became friends at a play centre. Nick has three sons and one daughter, whom he shares with two ex-wives, making Katie his third marriage. He has long been vocal about the backlash to his relationship with Katie, who is 28 years his junior. The TV personality previously told The Times that Katie 'occasionally wondered if it's all worth it' due to 'horrible' racist abuse she receives online. Nick said: 'It's really unpleasant and unfair,' with Katie also accused of being a 'golddigger' in her Instagram comments. 'Katie's a mum of two, she's super intelligent and capable, within just eight months her lingerie brand was stocked by Next. 'But you just get people being properly vile. So you understand when she goes, 'I don't know if I want to be around this'.' Nick was then asked if he tried to change her mind in those moments, to which he replied: 'No. I understand. But in the end we love each other very much.' Speaking in 2023 about the moment he popped the question, Nick revealed he actually used a Haribo ring. Nick shared on The One Show that Katie was travelling to see him in New Orleans and he realised it was 'the ideal time' to propose, but he 'didn't have a ring.'

More Trending Ever the fixer, however, Nick still managed to make the moment memorable, taking a pair of scissors to the 'ring' to give it a jewel on top. He joked it was 'a dangerous move, as she does like Haribo', and the engagement ring could easily have been eaten instead.

Love Island's Helena Ford reveals horror moment she was KNOCKED OUT by date - and reveals truth about why Justin Bieber follows her

Love Island's Helena Ford has revealed the horror moment she was knocked out during a date and shared the truth about why Justin Bieber follows her social media. Helena, 29, works as cabin crew and a travel influencer and is one of the 12 new islanders who will move into the iconic villa on Monday. The Londoner is hoping to find 'somebody funny or Northern' and has opened up about a previous dating fail while she was studying at the University of Gloucestershire. 'I went on a date when I was at uni with this guy, we were leaving this bar, and he basically tried to give me like a fireman's lift over his shoulder,' she revealed. However, things went drastically wrong during the playful lift and there was no second date afterwards. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. She added: '... I just went the whole way and ended up knocking myself out.' Helena previously revealed Justin Bieber follows her on X, formerly Twitter, though she doesn't know him personally. 'Basically, when I was really, really young, I used to be like a Belieber. So, like I was just like a little fan girl for Justin Bieber,' she admitted. The pop star followed Helena's old social media account and she added: 'So yeah, he did follow me back, but that was on my old T witter account. 'It wasn't on my actual one. But when, obviously, when I was about 13, I was absolutely gassed.' The cabin crew's social media is littered with 'come with me' videos from idyllic locations including Dubai, Lake Como and Monaco. Both the epitome of a blonde bombshells with their long, flowing curls and striking features, Helena could be mistaken for Danielle Sellers. Danielle, 30, is also prolific on social media, with the former Page 3 model running a food account on Instagram named Delicious Danielle. The model first took part in the third series of Love Island in 2017 before appearing on Love Island: All Stars earlier this year. Sharing her ideal type, Helena said: 'Somebody funny or Northern. I feel like Northern people have much more banter than Southerners. 'If you look through my previous dating history, you'll see I clearly go for personality. You can pretty much laugh me into bed.' Helena does already have a connection to the villa, as a friend of show favourite Zara McDermott.

London fair features veggie sculptures from squash Trump to ‘Cauli Parton'

Vegetable likenesses of Donald Trump and Dolly Parton and a papal 'Cornclave' went on display on Saturday at the Lambeth country show, an urban take on a country fair held annually in London's Brockwell Park. The two-day show features sheep-shearing, livestock competitions, food, music and a vegetable sculpture contest that has attracted national renown for its quirky creativity. This year, several sculptures referenced the recent papal election or movie on the same subject, including one featuring cardinals made of maize, titled Cornclave. Other entries included Irish rap trio Kneecap in potato form, 'Cauli Parton' in a movie-inspired tableau titled 9 to Chive, a vegetable 'Mo Salad' likeness of Liverpool soccer star Mohamed Salah, and animated icons Wallace and Gromit made from butternut squash. Trump also got the butternut squash treatment, while some entries referred to local politics. In Lambeth, as in other parts of London, local authorities have turned to holding large concerts and festivals in parks as a way to raise money, to the chagrin of some neighbors. Wolf Hall actor Mark Rylance, one of a group of local residents opposed to big events in Brockwell Park, is represented as 'Mark Rylunch', with an apple-carved head and satirical signs branding him a Nimby ('not in my backyard') campaigner. 'Every year, this is what we get so excited about, is the vegetable sculptures,' country show regular Maddy Luxon said. 'It's just so unique and just so witty and we love the political ones.' 'And the puns,' said Marek Szandrowski, who was with her. 'The vegetable puns, definitely.'
