Nick Knowles’ new wife Katie shares new photos from wedding and has already changed her name on Instagram
NICK Knowles’ new wife Katie has shared some new photos from this wedding – and she’s already changed her name on Instagram.
Nick, 62, and Katie, 34, said ‘I do’ in the same venue where Rylan Clark married ex-husband Dan Neal in 2015.
The DIY SOS star and the mum-of-two were all smiles as they posed outside the country house, with the bride showing off her chic style in a stunning blue and white gown.
And they’ve given fans a glimpse into their big day and were seen enjoying their first slow dance together after exchanging vows at Braxted Park in Essex.
Now, Katie, who has already changed her surname to Knowles on social media, has shared a string of stunning photos from inside their big day.
She penned to her 90,000 followers: “When you marry your soulmate.”
Katie shared photos of her and Nick hugging on the dance floor, as well as some beautiful black and white images of them cutting their three-tiered wedding cake.
She also posted sweet polaroid snaps with family and friends, and a fun photo of her and Nick posed in playful costumes against a floral backdrop.
Fans flooded the comments with messages of congratulations.
One person wrote: “Congratulations to you both Katie and Nick I’m happy for you both,” and a second added: “Gorgeous .. wishing you all happiness in the world.”
A third said: “Looks like you had the perfect day even though the buried sausage didn’t work,” referring to the rainy weather.
Fans also loved watching clips of the couple’s first dance.
DIY SOS presenter Nick was decked out in his pink jacket while lingerie boss Katie sported her elegant blue floral gown as they swayed and gazed lovingly into each other’s eyes.
Even the joker Nick couldn’t resist having a laugh and busted out some twerking at the end while Katie jokingly shook her head.
Katie then did an outfit change and slipped into a white mini dress with match trainers and a glittery hat.
Nick clearly liked what he saw, removing his jacket and spinning it around over his head.
And despite having to pull out of Strictly Come Dancing due to injury last year, Nick proved he’s still got the moves as he spun his wife around the floor.
Later the pair let their hair down further by downing shots with their pals.
There was also lots of entertainment for guests, with a carnival dancer taking to the stage at one point.
Later, a band performed songs for the merry crowd.
Nick and Katie spared no expense on the big day, which is rumoured to have cost six figures.
Michael Owen reveals he didn’t know what Ballon d’Or was when he won it and had to ask manager about it
MICHAEL OWEN has admitted he had no idea what the Ballon d’Or was – even after winning it.
The former Liverpool striker won the prestigious gong in 2001, beating Real Madrid icon Raul into second place.
Owen played 297 times for the Reds over an eight-year stint, scoring 158 goals.
He later moved to Real Madrid and Manchester United, as well as earning 89 caps for England.
The 45-year-old’s electric pace and lethal finishing made him one of the world’s most feared strikers.
Owen bagged 24 goals in 46 Premier League games in 2001, catching the eye of the Ballon d’Or panel.
The award is handed out annually to Europe’s best player.
But after beating greats including David Beckham, Luis Figo and Thierry Henry to the award, Owen had absolutely no clue what it was.
Owen told talkSPORT: “When Gerard Houllier phoned me and said ‘You’ve won the Ballon d’Or’, I’m like ‘What’s that gaffer’?
“I didn’t know what the award was. I never did because I never even knew what it was.

“Back in those days it was never in our press.”
Owen was just the fourth English player to win the Ballon d’Or, following Stanley Matthews, Bobby Charlton and Kevin Keegan.
But it wasn’t until he became a Galactico with Madrid in 2004 that he truly understood its significance.
Owen continued: “When I played for Real Madrid, it’s like an MBE, it follows you.
“Whenever they mention your name it’s Ballon d’Or winner.
“Abroad it is so big and it’s only just cottoned on here for the last five or ten years.
“It’s so much bigger in other countries, in foreign countries.
“It quickly sunk in how big it was.”

This morning, the thousands of commuters who use the road ever day have been urged caution following a breakdown.
Traffic bosses reported the breakdown of a heavy goods vehicle at the roundabout at junction two.

“Minor delays to your journey may occur.”
CLEAN UP

Hours ago, a vehicle breakdown was reported on the M1 near Junction Two at Dublin Airport.
Lane two was affected by the incident.
And in a separate location, there was debris on the road causing delays to traffic.
This occurred on the red M50 southbound slip to N7.
Both incidents have been cleared up, leaving the motorway mostly quiet and with mo major delays.
There are no reports of major incidents on roads elsewhere in the country.
Leicester and England wonderkid Jeremy Monga, 15, snubs Man City interest to stay at King Power Stadium
MANCHESTER CITY have been snubbed in their attempts to sign wonderkid Jeremy Monga.
It comes as the teenage England youth star put pen to paper on a professional contract at Leicester.
Despite being just 15 years old, Monga has already featured for the Foxes first team during the 2024/25 season.
Following a 16-minute debut off the bench against Newcastle in the Premier League, Monga went on to make a further six league appearances for the club under Ruud van Nistelrooy.
A club statement on Monday confirmed Monga was one of nine youngsters from the Academy who would be staying at the club.
It read: “Nine exciting young talents from our Academy will extend their stays with Leicester City after a combination of new contracts, extension options and scholarship agreements were confirmed…
“Meanwhile, Jeremy Monga has committed to commencing his professional career as a Leicester City player, with an agreement now in place to secure the talented teenager’s future at King Power Stadium.
“Jeremy will begin his Academy scholarship this summer with his first professional contract scheduled to commence in summer 2026.
“Our second-youngest appearance maker and the second-youngest player in Premier League history, having made the first of his seven Premier League appearances against Newcastle United in April, aged 15 years and 271 days, Jeremy is among an exciting group currently progressing on our Academy pathway, which he joined as an Under-9.”
The versatile winger has been captain of England‘s Under-16s too and trained with City’s U-21s squad as a result of his potential.
But that only helped to catch the eye of some of Europe’s top clubs, with City among those who were hoping to tie up a move this summer.
However, they have failed in their attempts to lure him away from the King Power Stadium.
Monga almost made history by becoming the youngest ever Premier League goalscorer against Nottingham Forest, only to be denied by Matz Sels.
Van Nistelrooy was boisterous on his future and said at the time: “That would have been some story if Jeremy could have topped his exam week with a winner away at Forest.
“If he stays here and this is his future we can build more minutes into his pathway.
“I’ve had many conversations with him and his family. And so hopefully he can sign soon – it’s up to him.
“It’s a joy to work with him and sometimes we speak about GCSEs and mathematics. I even have to help him with his studies sometimes!
“But if he had scored the winner against Forest that would have been a real fairytale.”

Inside Shane Lowry’s Canadian Open prize money payout as Irish golf ace earns six-figure sum
SHANE Lowry’s Saturday round may have scuppered his chances of winning the Canadian Open but it still wound up being a very profitable four days for him.
The 2019 Open champion wound up finishing in a tie for 13th place on a tournament score of 13 under par.
That left him five shots off winner Ryan Fox who defeated Sam Burns in a play-off.
For his efforts Lowry will take home a paycheque of $180,810 with New Zeland native Fox scooping $1.76 million.
The Offaly man will be buoyed by his performance ahead of the third Major of the year — this week’s US Open at Oakmont Country Club.
Lowry catapulted himself into contention on Thursday with a scintillating opening-round score of six-under-par.
He backed that up on Friday with a two-under round of 68.
But with pal Rory McIlroy having packed his bags at the halfway stage, the leaders struck clear on Saturday, while Lowry could only shoot another 68.
He got off to a cracking start in Toronto yesterday.
The Clara man shot an eagle on the first before backing it up with three birdies on the spin.
But a bogey on the ninth after four consecutive pars halted his momentum.
And while he steadied the ship by parring the next five, he was running out of time and holes to remain in contention.
A birdie on the 15th kept him in the hunt but bogeys on the 16th and 17th killed his hopes off.
The Ireland Olympian moves on to Oakmont next, where he finished runner-up to Dustin Johnson in the 2016 US Open.
After wrapping up his Sunday round the 38-year-old posted an upbeat summation on Instagram.
It read: “Great tournament, great people, disappointing finish…Thank you Canada, Canadian Open and sponsors RBC. On to the US Open.”
