Millionaire Nick Knowles is raging at trolls who claim that his young sex toy-selling lover is only with him for his cash.
The DIY SOS host, 59 – who is worth around £7.5million – has been mocked online since he was spotted kissing mum-of-two Katie Dadzie, 32, after they went on a dinner date earlier this month.
BBC star Nick, who turns 60 in September, was also targeted with bile about the age gap.
He said: “If you put yourself on TV then you know you are going to get all that stuff. It is more upsetting for the people I am with.

“Some of the nasty things that are said, and the implication that because she is younger that she is only interested in me for the money or whatever.
“She has two kids, she owns property, has three businesses on the go, is wealthier than me. It is upsetting that they talk about people I am with.”
According to her Instagram, Katie runs two businesses – Boa Boa which sells lingerie and sex toys and another called Boobbix which flogs “lactation products for breastfeeding mums”.

Nick split from wife Jessica Rose Moor – 26 years his junior – in 2016. He made his first appearance with Katie in September 2021.
It came after he ended his romance with PR guru Emily Hallinan, 27, in 2020. Nick and Katie first met through their kids’ playgroup and a pal said he “can’t believe his luck” that they are dating.
The host has also revealed he sold 80% of his possession to downsize into a new home with his youngest son Eddie, seven – who he shares with Jessica – and to “make new memories”.

He seethed after he and Katie were also targeted by trolls earlier this month: “I’m raging. What happened to #bekind?”
