Alex Jones: The One Show host left stunned after cheeky Nick Knowles swipe
ALEX JONES couldn’t hide her shock on The One Show when mischievous actress Miriam Margolyes made a dig about Nick Knowles’ looks.
The One Show: Nick Knowles says he has oil painting of himself
Alex Jones, 42, burst into a fit of giggles on The One Show this week when Nick Knowles, 56, was teased by fellow guest Miriam Margolyes, 77. The presenter watched the seemingly awkward exchange take place as the actress and DIY SOS host took to the sofa for interviews on the BBC programme. Miriam made the quip about Nick’s appearance following his surprising admission about an artistic self-portrait. The star spoke to Alex and her co-host Matt Baker, 41, about the creative experience, revealing: “Someone did an oil painting for me.”
Explaining why the unique moment took place, Nick added: “I’d helped someone who was involved in the military, he became an artist and then wanted to do an exhibition of people who had helped him.
“So he did a portrait of me and offered me the portrait, which was great, I took it home.”
Alex then quizzed the TV personality about the quality of the image, wondering: “Was it a good likeness, were you happy with it?”
Nick jokingly replied: “It was, it had a big nose and a bit beardy, and it was a very good likeness.”
He then humbly added: “But where do you hang a picture of yourself in your own home? You can’t do it!”
However, in spite of Nick’s humble admission, Miriam excitedly took the opportunity to poke fun at the presenter’s story.
The Harry Potter star, who is known for her cheeky personality, beamed with glee as she remarked: “I wouldn’t have said you were an oil painting!”
Miriam’s mischievous comment caused members of The One Show’s studio to erupt into laughter, as Alex’s hand flew to her mouth in surprise over the sudden swipe.
Fortunately, Nick saw the funny side of Miriam’s light-hearted claim.
Joining in with the joke, he agreed: “To be fair Miriam, I think you’re right, I don’t think anybody would think I’m an oil painting.”
Elsewhere on the show, Nick continued to cause a stir with Alex and Matt when he made a shock admission about his musical career.
The multi-talented DIY SOS favourite hinted that his “low voice” features on a popular dance track, but refused to reveal specific details about the song.
He divulged: “Weirdly, there’s another track out there that’s got my voice on it and people don’t know that I’m on it
“But I can’t tell you which one it is.”
Alex in particular appeared to be very disappointed by Nick’s dedication to keeping the secret.
The pregnant star protested: “Come on, you can’t leave it there!”
Much to her dismay, Nick kept quiet about the name of the band behind the tune, as he resolutely responded: “I promised that I’d never tell people.”
The One Show airs tonight at 7pm on BBC One.
