Nick Knowles Hits Out At Trolls Who Mock His Age Gap Relationship

Nick Knowles has hit out at trolls who mocked his relationship with girlfriend Katie Dadzie, who is nearly 30 years his junior, saying the judgement is ‘upsetting and unfair’. 

After Knowles, 59, was recently photographed with Dadzie, 32, the dad-of-four took to Twitter to say he was 'raging' over the reaction from 'abusive' trolls online – pointing out that his new partner is 'wealthier and more successful' than he is.

He wrote: "I’m raging. The woman I was out to dinner with when we were papped is 32, has degrees in two subjects, runs 3 businesses, is a mother of 2, is wealthier and more successful than me and is intelligent and independent unlike the abusive trolls attacking her. What happened to #bekind?"

In a new interview with The Sun, Knowles explained how he felt the need to speak up as it's simply 'unfair' on his family or those he dates when they get 'shot at verbally' online.

He said: “I choose to be on TV. As a result, I expect the whole nine yards. 

“I am up there as an object. I’ve chosen to be on TV but my children, or my family, or people I date, for them I feel it’s unfair to have a go at them. 

“What upset me was the judgment of her without knowing anything about her or what her motivations might be. I found that upsetting and unfair and felt I needed to say something about it. 

“By all means have a go at me, I’m there to be shot at verbally on social media and the rest of it because of what I’ve chosen to do as a living. 

“But it feels a bit unfair to have a go at people I care about.”

Knowles, who has three grown-up children and a seven-year-old son, added: “People have a view of celebrities. I consider what I do very much a job. It’s an unusual job and it’s in the public eye. 

"A lot of people who do what I do actually start believing in their own press releases — they are special and important. 

“I always assume when people meet me that they think I must be that arrogant TV presenter. 

“A lot of people in our industry start from the idea that people actually must be impressed to meet them. I start from the idea that actually everybody thinks the worst of me until I can prove otherwise.”
