It’s not often you get to hear about celebrity feuds as our favourite stars usually hide their hatred for one another behind those smiles for the cameras.
However, word reaches us that former Bake Off host Mel Giedroyc and DIY SOS frontman Nick Knowles are the best of enemies.
Mel confessed: “Nick Knowles really hates me. He absolutely detests me.
“I did this silly sort of Radio Times interview. You know, one of those ones where they say, ‘You’ve got 30 seconds to answer 50 questions’.
“And one of the questions was, ‘Who most annoys you on TV?’ and I just went, ‘Nick Knowles’ without thinking.”

However, he clearly found out about her comments and made it known when they were forced to appear on TV together.
She explained: “Then a couple of years later I was interviewing him on live telly.
“And he was just going like this at me.. and I was thinking, ‘What the heck’s going on?’ And then he said, ‘You don’t like me very much, do you?’ He holds grudges!”

Their frosty live TV encounter appears to have been three years ago.
Mel was one of the co-presenters on Children In Need and Nick was a guest who had helped raise funds money.
Viewers complained that she “kept cutting him off” live on air calling it “very rude and unnecessary”.

Guest celebrities including Lorraine Kelly, Jack Dee and Katherine Ryan reveal all about secrets from their past.
The comedian and presenter is also fronting a new TV-themed podcast to celebrate television called My TV Years.
The show which began last month will discuss a whole host of celebrities – including Sanjeev Bhaskar, Hugh Dennis and Kirstie Allsopp.
Speaking to Daily Star, Mel said: “Telly plays such a central role in all our lives and that’s why I’m going to be discussing all of this, from reminiscing about old favourites to looking at current TV obsessions, with some of the nation’s favourite TV stars as they tell me about their TV years.”
