Nick Knowles pictured out with another woman after TOWIE star claims SHE’S dating him

Who is he REALLY dating?!

| Updated:

There’s no denying that Nick Knowles’ love life has been pretty confusing these days.

While Nick, 55, has vehemently denied claims he is dating one-time TOWIE star Pascal Craymer, 33, she contradicted that by coming out this week and insisting they WERE an item.

Bizarre, right?

And just to add a bit more confusion to an already baffling situation, television presenter Nick chose to attend a glam charity ball in London on Thursday night with ANOTHER woman.

There was no Pascal in sight as the DIY SOS star was seen posing for photos on the red carpet at the Britain’s Got Talent Childline Ball with a pretty brunette clad in a black gown.

Inevitably that raised eyebrows with people wondering a) where Pascal was and b) just who the lady with Nick was.

But keen to pour cold water on dating rumours before they began, Nick took to Twitter to introduce his companion as Della O’Sullivan, a purely platonic friend who teaches self-defence.

He tweeted: “Great 2 support Childline with (press note) my friend, NOT date, Della O Sullivan, martial arts expert who coaches young people in self defence.”

Of course, it doesn’t clear up the main question: just what’s going on with Nick and Pascal?!

They were first linked back in August after being seen enjoying dinner together in London, sparking rumours of a romance.

But Nick firmly denied any relationship with Pascal when talking to The Sun last week.

He said: “I know her through a friend. It was very nice, you know, but if I get photographed with somebody it doesn’t mean we’re dating.”

Nick added: “I only need to be photographed having dinner with somebody and I’m dating them, which is a bit harsh.”

But Pascal muddied the waters when she then jumped in with an interview of her own, insisting the couple WERE dating.

She told The Sun: “He’s so lovely. We’re dating, we’re seeing how it goes. I have a fun time with him.”

Over to you, Nick…

Pascal is best known for appearing briefly in The Only Way Is Essex.

Nick, meanwhile, has presented makeover show DIY SOS since 1999 and has fronted a string of other high-profile programmes including Who Dares Wins, Break The Safe, Real Rescues and Close Call: On Camera.

He was married to his first wife in the 1990s before they divorced and he began a long-term relationship with fellow TV presenter Suzi Perry.

In 2012, he married second wife Jessica Knowles, but they split in 2015.

Nick enjoyed a brief fling with Emmerdale star Gemma Oaten while separated from Jessica, but it apparently didn’t end that amicably, with reports he dumped her in bed after whisking the actress to Edinburgh for a romantic weekend.

But addressing the ‘love rat’ label earlier this year, Nick simply said he doesn’t care what strangers think.

“I let people say whatever they want,” he told the Daily Star Sunday. “I very rarely comment on it at all. People who know me know who I am and know what I’m about…

“And outside of that it doesn’t really matter to me.”
