Nick Knowles is our thirteenth celebrity for Strictly 2024!

Nick Knowles is a BAFTA-winning TV presenter.

For the last 24 years, Nick Knowles has been the face of the BBC’s BAFTA-winning ‘DIY SOS’. Alongside this, Nick Knowles has always been passionate about travelling and most recently, worked with Channel 5 on various travel programmes including ‘Into the Grand Canyon’, ‘The Mighty Mississippi’ and ‘Nick Knowles in South America’.

Over the past two decades, Nick has presented across an extensive list of formats spanning news, factual, travel and entertainment and has solidified himself as one of the UK’s most familiar faces on television.

Nick Knowles says: “I’m so, so excited to be doing Strictly this year. People may be more used to me getting stuck in on a building site or travelling the world, but dancing live on TV will be a whole new adventure. I’ve spent my whole life learning new skills and I’ve never been afraid of a challenge - there’s life in the old dog yet to take on one more big one – being taught how to dance! I’ll give it my everything .... and try not to embarrass my kids of course!”

The news was revealed this evening (Monday 12th August) on The One Show on BBC One.
