Nick Knowles, 62, looks downcast as he joins his stylish fiancée Katie Dadzie, 34, for lunch date in the sun
The DIY SOS star, 62, appeared tired as he rubbed his eyes throughout the meal while the lingerie businesswoman, 34, was seen smoking a cigarette.
Katie looked stylish as she opted for a red and white floral summer dress and sunglasses while tying her hair up off her face in a ponytail.
She accessorised with a brown Louis Vuitton handbag and showed off her large diamond engagement ring with matching diamond earrings.
Meanwhile Nick seemed slightly overdressed for the weather as he opted for a long-sleeved navy shirt and beige trousers.
Arriving at the restaurant he added a matching navy blazer and smart brown leather shoes.
The pair tucked into their meal in the sun as Nick was seen looking serious throughout the conversation.
The lingerie brand boss began dating the TV star in 2021 after they met when their children became friends at a play centre.
Yet the pair have been subject to cruel trolling during their relationship, with critics mocking their age difference and financial setup.
Speaking exclusively to MailOnline, about the 'gold digger' jibes, Katie admitted they don't get to her as much as they used to because she and Nick know its not true.
She said: 'I think at the start, it was probably more irritating, especially for my family. But now those comments kind of just pass over me because we both know it's not true.
'Nick works hard, he has what he has. I work hard, I have what I have and then we buy each other stuff.'
Katie continued: 'We're both really comfortable with where we are with that and you will always get it because there's an age gap.
'I know plenty of people who are together and the same age where someone's using the other one for money and they're not happy.

Nick has an estimated £7.5 million net worth but Katie has built up an impressive lingerie brand, having launched Boa Boa in 2022
'So as long as I know it's not true and he knows it's not true, I think that's, that's pretty much all that matters.'
Nick has an estimated £7.5 million net worth but Katie has built up an impressive lingerie brand, having launched Boa Boa in 2022.
She has proved to be her own best advert for the brand, modelling the skimpy looks to her 102,000 Instagram followers.
Katie revealed her battle with endometriosis has impacted the pictures she posts as she is now on a mission to show off her 'real' figure.
Endometriosis is a condition where tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside of the uterus. It can cause pelvic pain, heavy periods, and difficulty getting pregnant.
Speaking about how she wants to represent real women Katie shared : 'I've got slightly better at trying to show slightly more real, as in I've put weight on recently so I know I can't just have the better picture of me where I haven't eaten at the start of the morning.
'I've got horrendous endometriosis, so I do bloat terribly but that's the company ethos that it's underwear that's made to fit you regardless of your size.'

The freak accident occurred on Saturday night. Dog, 78, is not directly related to Zecca or his tragic teenage son - since he was born during Francie's previous marriage. Police confirmed that they responded to a call about a shooting at around 8pm local time.

An investigation into the circumstances of the horrific accident is still ongoing. A spokesperson for Dog and Francie told TMZ: "We are grieving as a family over this incomprehensible tragic accident and would ask for continued prayers as we grieve the loss of our beloved grandson, Anthony." Dog and his wife married in 2021 after each of their partners passed away. They said they bonded over their shared grief during their relationship. Zecca reportedly works with Dog on his bounty hunting team alongside Dog's daughter, Lyssa. Star Trek and Mission Impossible star who was married to late screen icon dies aged 97 Dog's step-son was also a gun enthusiast - and has previously shared photos of him "getting some range tine in" with his son and their rifle back in 2021. Reality personality Dog is a renowned bounty hunter and former bail bondsman. In a 2010 interview with The Guardian, Chapman revealed the hidden meaning behind his name. Chapman told the media outlet: "When I was in a motorcycle gang I was made sergeant of arms. "He's the smallest guy with the biggest mouth who starts all the fights. "The club president called me 'God spelled backwards' because I spoke about God and I was man's best friend. "In the bounty hunter world it turned into 'this dog can hunt'." Chapman rose to fame as a bounty hunter in 2003, after his successful capture of Max Factor heir Andrew Luster in Mexico. He went on to catch more than 10,000 fugitives according to an interview published in The New York Times back in January of 2020. This is not the first time the bounty hunter has been plagued by a freak tragedy. The night before his wedding with former partner Beth in 2006, Dog received the horrific news that his daughter Barbara, 23, had been killed in a car accident while in a stolen SUV in Alaska. 6 Gregory pictured with his son Anthony 6 Anthony was reportedly killed in a freak accident More to follow...

'Influencer' who garnered more than 165,000 followers while 'enjoying Wimbledon' is revealed as an AI creation
She has 165,000 followers on Instagram and recently posted images showing her enjoying the tennis at Wimbledon. But the 'model' whose social media persona became an internet sensation at the championships was actually created by AI. The posts on Mia Zelu's Instagram page were so carefully curated that they hoodwinked more than 40,000 people into liking her pictures and leaving comments in the belief that she was real and at the tournament. With images of her on Centre Court or enjoying a Pimm's, even Indian cricketer Rishabh Pant was taken in. The 27-year-old was at Wimbledon but discovered the account he had liked was a fake one and quickly deleted all of his interactions with it. The online comments by Zelu, who embodied the quintessential Wimbledon look of summery dresses and golden tan, reflect the language used by actual Instagram influencers. In one she asks her followers: 'Which Wimbledon match was your fave?' Despite not actually being at the tournament, Zelu also remarked: 'Still not over the event... but the party's a whole other game.' Her creators, who remain anonymous, explain in a profile that she is an 'AI storyteller', adding she has a sister called 'Ana' with 266,000 followers on her account. Despite the clear indication that the account is not that of a real person, Zelu's followers still send her messages – including proposals of marriage.

MasterChef star Julie Goodwin (pictured) shared some exciting family news with her fans on Sunday Julie's exciting announcement comes just days after she issued a statement defending her weight loss after fans raised concerns about her health. Julie shared an update on Instagram after a new photo, in which she looked very slim, was posted to her account. Her dramatic transformation led to comments from worried followers. 'Thanks to all who have expressed concern about my health. I am well and I am within the healthy weight range. My doctor concurs,' she wrote. 'For those who have asked me for advice or tips, I am not qualified to provide this. It's advice that should be sought from your trusted health professionals, not from me. I'm a TV cook,' Julie continued. 'For those who want to comment on the shape and condition of my body please, do it on your own page because I'm tired of reading it. For that reason I'll be turning off comments on this post. 'For all of us can we please find something more interesting to talk about. Can we please model kindness to our kids and grandkids and can we please leave this obsession with people's looks back in the 1980s. Peace and love.' Julie was prompted to speak out after a selfie shared this week led to comments inquiring about whether she is 'sick'. 'I'm actually concerned... to be honest, but if you are healthy and well there is nothing to worry about,' one fan commented. 'Oh Julie…. too much weight loss,' another chimed in, while one more said, 'She is sick. She looks shocking.' 'Julie you are awesome, but are you okay?' someone else asked, with one more posting, 'Are you okay Julie? You don't look okay. Hope there's nothing wrong.' 'She looks like a skeleton,' one more person wrote, with yet another saying, 'OMG you look so ill.' Others defended Julie, with one person writing, 'Love how people speculate she is on the jabs. My bet is she is looking after herself and eating the right foods.' 'OMG Julie you look amazing! You have a beautiful smile. Keep shining!' another said. One more chimed in: 'Can everyone stop commenting on Julie's weight and telling her she's too thin? All you're doing is projecting on her what YOU think she should look like. If she had always looked like this, no-one would say anything. 'Just be happy for her that she's happy, her doctor's happy, and she's healthy!' Julie recently revealed she had lost more weight following her dramatic 'accidental' transformation, which saw her drop a whopping 20kg almost a decade ago.
