Nick Knowles is best known for (literally) building people a better life. The DIY SOS host is now actively working on himself too. Speaking on BBC One’s Saturday Kitchen on Saturday, Knowles said he intended to lose three stone by giving up beer and wine. This is not the first time he has been on a health kick.
In 2014, the TV star had a health scare that prompted him to drastically rethink how he was living his life.
The DIY SOS host suffered a ruptured sinus artery.
Knowles spoke about the injury and its subsequent impact on his life in an interview a few years later.
“I had to find a better way to manage my health after a scare [a stress-related ruptured sinus artery in 2014],” he said in an interview with Big Issue.

“I didn’t want to tell anyone because I thought I wouldn’t get a booking for work, so I kept it to myself.”
Knowles said he had to take short breaks during work because he had a shortness of breath.
According to Office for National Security statistics published last month, an estimated 1.8 million people living in private households in the UK were experiencing self-reported long Covid (symptoms persisting for more than four weeks after the first suspected coronavirus (COVID-19) infection that were not explained by something else) as of 3 April 2022.
Of people with self-reported long Covid 382,000 (21 percent) first had (or suspected they had) COVID-19 less than 12 weeks previously, 1.3 million people (73 percent) at least 12 weeks previously, 791,000 (44 percent) at least one year previously and 235,000 (13 percent) at least two years previously.
