Nick Knowles and his fiancée Katie Dadzie were spotted arriving at their wedding venue on Friday.

The lingerie brand boss, 34, and DIY SOS star, 62, began dating in 2021 after they met when their children became friends at a play centre and got engaged in 2023. 

Katie confirmed the countdown was ‘on’ until their big day in an Instagram post last Friday, and it has been claimed that the couple are due to tie the knot this weekend in a lavish six-figure ceremony in EsSєx. 

Ahead of the nuptials, Nick was seen wheeling two suitcases as he arrived at the venue, before greeting friends and family. 

He cut a smart-casual figure in a brown zip-up polo top and beige trousers, paired with casual white trainers.

Katie arrived a few hours later with her close friends, looking effortlessly chic in a skin-тιԍнт black bodysuit and light-blue skinny jeans that showcased her enviable figure. 

She added height with black stiletto heels and carried her essentials in a Louis Vuitton handbag. 

The bride-to-be wore her brunette tresses in a curly blowout and opted for minimal makeup to highlight her natural beauty. 

Katie looked more loved-up than ever as she greeted her husband-to-be and took in her first glimpse of the wedding venue. 

The couple shared a sweet hug and kiss as they prepared for the fun-filled weekend ahead. 

According to The Sun, Nick and Katie will exchange vows at high-end wedding venue Braxted Park in EsSєx – where Rylan Clark married his ex-husband Dan Neal in 2015. 

The couple are said to have spared no expense on their special day, which will be attended by a whole host of celebrity guests, including Nick’s Strictly co-stars.

A source told the publication: ‘He’s invited all of his famous pals, including his Strictly co-stars so it’s going to be a proper showbiz bash.

‘Katie’s dress is beautiful and is going to blow people away.’

Nick starred on Strictly Come Dancing last year alongside the likes of Sarah Hadland, JB Gill, Love Island’s Tasha Ghouri and Pete Wicks, though it was Chris McCausland who ultimately took home the glitterball.

MailOnline contacted Nick’s representatives for comment at the time.

Katie kicked off the wedding celebrations earlier this month at her hen party, where she was joined by close friends Kirsty Shaw-Rayner and Sherene Fuller. 

The group arrived on a beer bus and then headed through party district Soho wearing Nick Knowles face masks, much to the amusement of Katie, ahead of partying at luxury boutique H๏τel Karma Sanctum.

Katie was later entertained by two buff men dressed as a fireman and policeman as the party carried on into the early hours. 

Katie and the TV star 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 it’s 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 pᴀss 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.

‘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 £7.5million 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.
