Nick Knowles has said that he will continue working as host of the BBC home improvement show DIY SOS, following a dispute over a TV advertisement for Shreddies breakfast cereal.
Because the Shreddies advert will continue running on TV, Knowles will not feature in the DIY SOS Children in Need special airing later this year, but the statement added that he will be “back on our screens in 2022”.
The presenter, who has hosted DIY SOS since 1999, featured in a 30-second advert as a builder, referring to himself as “Nick ‘Get it Done’ Knowles”.
“The DIY SOS Children In Need special will air in November with a guest presenter and I will be cheering them on from the side lines.”
