As a lifestyle expert with years of experience under my belt, I must say that Nick Knowles is truly embodying the spirit of resilience and dedication in his Strictly Come Dancing journey. His transformation from a DIY SOS host to a dancing sensation is nothing short of inspiring.


On Tuesday morning, Nick Knowles appeared cheerful when he showed up for the second day of Strictly Come Dancing practice sessions in London.

Nick Jonas, aged 61, was seen entering the nearby production site not long after his dance partner Luba Mushtuk, who is 34 and frequently appears on the BBC program.

Nick appeared eager to dance, clad in a pair of navy track pants matched with a gray athletic t-shirt.

The presenter remained at ease, donning a pair of white Nike sneakers, while also layering a fashionable tweed coat over his athletic attire.

At the same time, Luba was stunningly dressed in black leggings, matched with a belted sweater and sneakers.

She was seen arriving at the studio on the second day of training, carrying a big black shoulder bag with her.

On Monday, Nick and Luba were observed taking a smoke break outside the dance studio, following them.

After a lengthy four-hour practice session that left him drenched in perspiration, Nick appeared noticeably weary when he stepped outside for some fresh air.

Russian ballroom specialist Luba joined him for a smoke before they made their way back inside.

Lately, Nick openly confessed that his rehearsals for the performance are extremely tough, leaving him to crawl to his vehicle once done, and he’s resorting to icy baths for recuperation.

Regarding the so-called “Strictly Curse,” Nick, participating in the 20th anniversary season, commented: “I’m usually too tired to even make it to the car after. It’s not a problem for me.

To be honest, we had a full-day training session the previous day. When I arrived home, I felt so drained that I practically dragged myself to the car and spent an hour with my feet submerged in cold water.

Nick proposed to Katie Dadzie, 34, a lingerie business owner, while filming in the US last August.

As a lifestyle enthusiast and host of the “Who Dares Wins” show, I’m thrilled to share that I’ve shed nearly two stones in my journey over the past six weeks, gearing up for the weekend dance competition.

He added: ‘I was very fat, I’ve lost a lot of weight. I’ve done about six weeks of training to get fit enough to start dancing.

‘That’s the main thing, be fit enough to be able to do it, because it is unbelievably hard work.’

Previously, Nick had publicly stated that he aims to shed pounds in preparation for the dancing contest, following a fan’s tweet suggesting a group challenge tracking weight loss during Strictly Come Dancing. The fan estimated they would lose around 3.5 stones (approximately 49 pounds) as part of this challenge.

In response, the TV personality shared that they’ve been working out at the gym, sticking to a disciplined diet, and have shed approximately 15 pounds so far.

At the gym, Nick shared a video of him almost losing balance on the treadmill, humorously commenting: “Just goofing around on the exercise bike before Strictly dance training, almost had a tumble.

Nick seems to be enjoying his training regime and seems to be committed to getting in shape.

In an interview with a mirror in 2021, he remarked: “I’ve managed to earn a living by appearing as a large toolbox on television. At present, I weigh approximately 18 stone, which makes me quite big.

Constantly finding myself at construction sites, I gained close to four stones during the lockdown. However, I’ve managed to shed about two stones since then and am gradually getting back in shape.
