Nick Knowles' wife hits back as fans label her 'desperate' after racy snap
Nick Knowles' fiancée Katie Dadzie was subjected to cruel trolling after she shared a snap of herself in a barely-there pink lingerie set, with Nick stood behind her
Nick Knowles ' new wife, Katie Dadzie, previously faced online abuse following a risqué post made in celebration of the DIY SOS presenter's birthday back in 2023. The entrepreneur and owner of BOA BOA LINGERIE showcased a provocative image from a photoshoot that featured her clad in a revealing pink lingerie set while Nick assisted with the outfit.
Long before they tied the knot in a lavish Essex ceremony on Saturday, Katie dedicated the post to Nick on his 61st birthday, compiling this among other photographs.
She captioned it: "Happy birthday to my love and best friend and fiancé," expressing her joy and appreciation for their shared moments and humorous captures, including those with her "You make me smile and laugh all the time and I'm so happy that you're in my life so we can keep making lovely memories and taking special pictures with my eyes closed."
Despite being intended as a heartfelt gesture, the post drew negative attention from critics, leading some to label Katie as "desperate and cringe".
Not one to remain silent, at the time, Katie reposted some of the vitriolic remarks to her Instagram Story with the comment: "Todays trolling delight."
One particularly offensive troll remarked: "Your mother must be so proud... what a claim to dame, Nick Knowles' current b***h (number 67) and getting you're a**e out on line. Plus if you're 33 I'm the queen of the sheba." Another added: "Why would you want people to see this. So desperate and cringe."
As for Nick, he seemed unfazed by the negativity, humorously acknowledging the behind-the-scenes assistance on his own Instagram Story: "When your fiancée owns a lingerie brand and asks you to straighten the straps on a photo shoot," coupled with an emoji depicting shock.
Brushing off the haters, at the time, he responded to Katie's post with: "Thank you my love. Can't wait to see you later for dinner and hugs n kisses."
It followed Nick's recounting of his charming proposal, which took place earlier this summer after a three-year courtship.
The pair were introduced by their children who attended the same playgroup, leading to Nick popping the question with a Haribo sweet ring. "As people were trying to announce it before us there was a haribo ring incident in New Orleans. Very happy," he posted on Instagram at the time.
During an appearance on The One Show, Nick explained that he felt it was "the ideal time" to propose, despite not having a traditional ring. He confessed that the Haribo was "all he had" and that he'd given it a personal touch by adding a "small jewel".
Discussing wedding preparations, he remarked: "It starts to happen right away. It turns out it's like pulling the pin on a hand grenade." Nick also disclosed that he did indeed swap Katie's gummy sweet ring for a genuine one shortly after his proposal.
