The wedding video of a popular British TV host has been flooded with cruel remarks after he tied-the-knot for the third time with a woman 28-years his junior.
Katie Dadzie, 34, married 62-year-old Nick Knowles, the star of cult UK home reno show DIY SOS, in a lavish ceremony last month that reportedly cost “six figures”.
But after sharing a heartwarming video from their nuptials, the new Mrs Knowles became the target of cruel online trolls who bombarded the clip with a barrage of abuse noting their considerable age-gap.
“Third time’s a charm. Especially with someone young enough to be your daughter...” one snared.
“I thought he was waiting to give his daughter away,” scoffed another.
The awful abuse sparked a wave of support from many of Katie’s followers who urged others to think twice before leaving hateful remarks.
“This is Katie’s personal Instagram page not a tabloid page. Please think before posting your commenting on her wedding photos,” one pleaded.
“Katie, I’m so so sorry you have had to put up with such vitriol on what should have been one of the best times of your life,” another said.
As one noted: “These awful comments! And all from women. What’s happened to people that they feel the need to be so nasty about somebody’s wedding day.”
“Why are people so hung up on age difference? They’re a good looking couple and love is indiscriminate,” added someone else.
Instead of letting the cyber bullying get to her, Katie instead decided to “furiously hit back”, and recently began responding to inappropriate comments left on wedding photos she later posted, The Sun reports.
When one troll commented on the fact her new husband is almost three decades older than her by writing, “I give it one year”, Katie responded: “Amount of f**ks given.”
Another troll snared, “I give it three months,” prompting the new bride, who is a mother-of-two, to clap back with a tongue-in-cheek comment, writing: “I give it a year.”
One speculated that neither Katie kids nor Knowles’ four from his two previous marriages, were at the big day, prompting her to ask: “Did you see that in the front row?”
The couple met in 2019 when Katie’s daughters and Nick’s youngest son, Eddie, became playmates.
However, they didn’t get together until 2021 when the pair “bumped into each other” and were both single.
“And that was that. It’s very handy to have kids the same ages – they play together really well, which is lovely,” he told Closer previously.
In their wedding snaps and video, the smitten pair could be seen enjoying their first slow dance together after exchanging vows at Braxted Park in Essex while surrounded by friends and family.
Nick and Katie reported “spared no expense on the big day” which is rumoured to have cost six figures with their lavish spending continuing into their Ibiza honeymoon which has been estimated to cost £2000 (around $4000 Australian Dollars) a night.
The couple chartered a luxury yacht to sail around the party island and were seen snuggling and cuddling as they soaked up the sun.
