DIY SOS Star Nick Knowles Admits Crying Alone
13 Oct
Summary
- Nick Knowles confessed to crying in his car after emotional DIY SOS jobs.
- He highlighted the high suicide rate within the construction trade.
- A future episode helps a disabled child's family.
During a recent appearance on This Morning, DIY SOS presenter Nick Knowles shared a candid personal revelation about his emotional experiences while filming the show. Knowles admitted that he would often drive to a motorway service station after emotionally taxing days on set to have a "little cry in the car on [his] own." He was surprised to learn that many of the builders he works with also engage in this private coping mechanism.
Knowles also used the platform to draw attention to the serious mental health challenges within the construction industry. He highlighted statistics indicating that men in this trade are four times more likely to commit suicide than the general population, attributing this partly to societal pressure for men to "get on with it" regardless of the emotional toll.
The interview also provided a glimpse into an upcoming episode, scheduled for October 13. In this particular installment, Nick Knowles and his team will be assisting a family in adapting their home to meet the complex needs of their son, Daniel. The emotional impact of this project was evident when Knowles became visibly overcome with emotion while discussing the reveal moment for the family.
