Nick Knowles explains unrecognisable appearance after trolling hell and reveals fiancee's reaction


DIY SOS star Nick Knowles has opened up about the public's reaction to his new appearance, revealing that he was compared to Star Wars character "Jabba the Hut" by trolls

"Basically because I grew this beard and I wore a shirt that was a little bit too tight, I'm now literally on the internet as Jabber the Hut." Nick recently opened up about his body transformation and comments from trolls, telling The Mirror: "I’m 61 now and it’s no great surprise that I’m a bit overweight. The DIY SOS presenter said he was branded 'Jabba the Hut' on the internet (Image: David Fisher/REX/Shutterstock)"Rather than sit on the sofa or going on a cruise or a package holiday - they’re all good things to do, don’t get me wrong - but I want to get up every day and challenge myself and do something a bit more extraordinary.
