Nick Knowles, 56, takes gorgeous blonde date back to his hotel at 3am after boozy night out
NICK Knowles looks to have a new lady friend in his life.
The DIY: SOS presenter, 56, has been pictured with a stunning blonde companion outside his London hotel after they were forced to wait outside for 25 minutes before the night staff noticed them and let them in.
Nick and his new friend had enjoyed a boozy night out in celeb hangout Soho House before heading back to the hotel at 3am.
It comes weeks after the television presenter’s secret fling with Labour’s shadow policing minister Louise Haigh was revealed by The Sun.
Nick, who was recently banned from driving, met the red-haired Labour frontbencher at the Police Bravery awards last year.
The pair’s relationship had been an open secret among Labour circles but the pair broke up recently, according to sources in the party.
A Labour insider said: “Their relationship was well known within Westminster and many MPs were talking about it.”
It is understood that they broke up before Knowles pleaded guilty to speeding and using a mobile phone while driving.
The dad-of-four was banned from driving for six months and fined nearly £1,500.
Knowles and Ms Haigh, 31, flirted on Twitter after meeting each other at the Police Bravery awards in July 2018.
She posted a picture of her posing with Knowles at the black-tie do on Twitter and after praising three police officers she added cheekily in the tweet: “Oh, and met that @Mr NickKnowles as well, which was nice.”
Knowles, 56, who famously said he got into TV to “meet attractive women”, has been mostly single since splitting from his second wife Jessica Moor.
But in an interview in April Knowles said he would “never give up on love”.
He said: “I believe in love.
“Whether that is at first sight or 12th meeting, it doesn’t matter – love is love, when you have a connection with somebody. That is a really special thing.”
He has Tuesday, 25, and son Charlie, 24, with his first wife Gillian, a son Tyrion-J, also 24, from an affair with Paula Beckett and Edwin, four, with second wife Jessica.

The DIY SOS star split from Jessica, who he married in 2012, in 2016 but supported her through her battle with cervical cancer which she won.
Following her recovery, Jessica decided to give their marriage a second try – but their relationship ended for good in December 2016.
He then enjoyed a short-lived romance with ex-Emmerdale star Gemma Oaten – with the actress claiming she was dumped by text.
In 2017 he went on a string of dates with Towie’s Pascal Craymer, before an eight month romance with marketing executive Rebecca Kearns, who was 30 years his junior.
A spokeswoman for Nick has been approached for comment.
