is engaged to lingerie entrepreneur Katie Dadzie, who is 27 years his junior – and more than three years on from their first public appearance together, they’re still making waves.
DIY SOS host Nick had previously posted a scantily clad image of his girlfriend, with him positioned directly behind her bare bottom while doing up her suspender straps. Some had argued at the time it was over-sexualised for , but Nick is defiant and keen to continue to support her business.
The lingerie she was wearing in the snap reportedly hailed from her own firm, Boa Boa, which is now stocked in Next. Now Nick has posted about her company, of which he is a co-director, again – and said he could scarcely stop himself.
Bursting with pride, he reposted a snap of a woman’s torso – believed but not confirmed to be Katie’s – in a white lace bra. A caption on the photo revealed that the lingerie range is now in stock.
Nick wrote: “So a year ago my fiancee started a lingerie company and I’m so proud of her success – it’s called @boaboawear. People say I shouldn’t post about it but when you love someone and are proud of their hard work and achievements you just can’t help yourself.”

The previous lingerie photo he’d shared was branded “desperate and cringe” by some followers, who challenged Katie for “getting [her] a**e out online”.
However, a defiant Nick whipped out a sarcastic shock emoji, writing in his Stories: “When your fiancée owns a lingerie brand and asks you to straighten the straps on a photo shoot.”
The picture demonstrated that Katie has a sensational body, despite previously giving birth to two daughters – five-year-old Alex and eight-year-old Savannah – from an earlier relationship.
Nick explained that she has a desire to be “body positive” and has even been designing special lingerie specifically to cater to breast cancer survivors.

Back in October on , he described his partner as a “lovely star”.
“[She] has managed to combine creating, running and making a success of her own beautiful lingerie business @boaboawear (now available also at NEXT online) – doing the paperwork, quotes and diary to support her brother’s successful stunning catering business @thymeandtimeagainuk – be a great Mum to two wonderful daughters, run the house, support me 100% on this insane Strictly adventure, and then care for me and attend hospital appointments and operations to help me recover,” he exclaimed.
“Truly she is a superwoman and I’m lucky to have her in my life and can’t wait to be married to her next year xx.”
