Nick Knowles and Fiancée Katie Dadzie Share PDA as Wedding Countdown Begins After Hen Do

Nick Knowles’ fiancée Katie Dadzie celebrated the countdown to her big day on Friday as she took to Instagram with a series of loved up snaps. 

The lingerie brand boss, 34, and DIY SOS star, 62, began dating in 2021 after they met when their children became friends at a play centre before getting engaged in 2023.

And after a long engagement their wedding day is drawing ever closer and the pair are looking more in love than ever. 

Taking to Instagram, Katie shared a series of sweet couple snaps as they packed on the PDA with a cheeky smooch. 

Katie also shared more memories from her hen do earlier this month as she posed with her friends in Nick Knowles masks.

Katie also made sure to show off her sparkling engagement ring as she shared a picture of her hand with a orange Haribo ring as her fake wedding ring. 

She captioned the post: ‘AND THE COUNTDOWN IS ON MR KNOWLES!!!’ 

Katie kicked off the wedding celebrations earlier this month at luxury boutique hotel Karma Sanctum as 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.

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.

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.’
