TV star Nick Knowles left fans gobsmacked with his “totally unrecognisable” look.
The 61-year-old, appeared on The One Show on Monday night (February 26) alongside strictly-come-dancing>Strictly Come Dancing pro Amy Dowden. He was there to discuss his latest show, but host Alex Jones quickly addressed his drastic change in appearance.
Nick, who is usually recognised for his clean-shaven look, sported a much longer beard in the BBC studio. Alex said: “There’s an elephant in the room here. Nobody’s talking about it. There’s a new look, Nick, going on well.”

Nick replied: “There’s there’s two things with it. One is I’m not actually doing any filming for a while. I’m doing some writing and things and so I had the chance to grow a beard and actually, weirdly for men you get a chance to grow a beard, like, ‘I’ll grow one.'”

He added: “I can’t have a beard like this when I’m filming. So that was one thing. And the other thing is a friend asked me to do some acting and years ago, long when… I’ve been in TV for 40 years now.
“When I started out, I started doing a bit of acting and I’ve been asked in-between. Now I’ve got a bit of space, so I’ve said yes to play a part.”
Fans were gobsmacked by Nick’s new look on the telly. One fan tweeted: “Nick Knowles is totally unrecognisable.” Another said: “Didn’t recognise Nick Knowles.”
A third person wrote: “Bl**dy hell, Nick Knowles! I could tell it was him by the voice, but when I looked up, I seriously couldn’t recognise him!!!” Another (via Mirror) read: “Wait… Nick Knowles was on #TheOneShow… missed it!”
Nick’s other half, Katie Dadzie, spilled some beans about their life at home. The 34-year-old boss of a lingerie company posted on Instagram to show off her birthday fun.
She wore a tight brown dress with a pattern and tall suede boots in a photo she took in their bedroom mirror. In another picture from a restaurant, Katie snapped a selfie with her future hubby Nick and shared that he treated her to a “birthday dinner date”.

Katie, who has two kids, met Nick in 2019 because of their children. But she recently said that she “actually didn’t like him very much” when they first met.
She confessed she wasn’t clued up about Nick’s TV work back then and that he didn’t let her get a word in. Luckily, they decided to grab a coffee together and found out they both love cooking and history.
But some trolls have criticised Katie because she and her partner have a 27-year age gap. Some claimed she’s only with him for his cash.
Nick stood up for Katie on X, saying: “She [Katie] has degrees in two subjects, runs three businesses, is a mother of two, is wealthier and more successful than me and is intelligent and independent unlike the abusive trolls attacking her.”
