Nicholas "Nick" Knowles (born 21 September 1962) is an English television presenter and writer best known for his presenting roles on the BBC, most notably game shows including Who Dares Wins (2007–present), Break the Safe (2013–2014) and 5-Star Family Reunion (2015–present). Knowles also presents the DIY series DIY SOS (1999–present) for BBC One and he also co-presented the daytime series Real Rescues (2007–2013).
Knowles was born in Southall, Middlesex on 21 September 1962. He has one brother, John, and three sisters, Karen, Angela and Sheila.
Aged 11, Knowles moved to Mildenhall in Suffolk, attending St Louis Middle School. After his family moved again, he attended the Skinners' School in Tunbridge Wells, Kent.
After leaving school, Knowles started work as a labourer before starting his own business. He still holds controlling shares of his company.
Knowles began as a runner in television production, before moving into producing TV. In the early 1990s, Knowles presented a show called Ridge Riders for ITV. This featured a celebrity and another one or two guests riding classic motorcycles along off-road tracks around the UK. The viewer was treated to historic and local information about the locality as well as informal chats with the celebrity. Knowles appeared as a member of Channel 5's chat show 5's Company between 1997 and 1999.
He is principally known as the main host of DIY SOS, a home renovation series broadcast on BBC One since 1999 and has also presented the BBC factual show Real Rescues since 2007. Knowles has also hosted several entertainment programmes for the BBC since signing an exclusive contract with them, including Who Dares Wins, Last Choir Standing, Guesstimation, Secret Fortune and Perfection.
