Nick Knowles has confirmed he is not dating Gemma Oaten
The DIY SOS host confirmed that he was not dating the actress, while suggesting that he and his estranged spouse were giving things another ago.
Back in January, the couple announced that they were separating in a joint statement after three years together.
When asked about his romance with Gemma, 32, Nick commented: "Gemma and I are not dating. We went on a date. The nature of my work means it’s very difficult to go on a date without everybody making a much bigger deal of it."
The father-of-three continued: "She’s a lovely girl but I’m not in a place at the moment where I am looking to date anybody."

Nick hinted that he was giving his marriage another go
The pair caused a stir when they were photographed arm-in-arm at the TV Choice Awards, after Gemma previously gushed about him in a tweet about his BBC series.
Nick went on to discuss his other half, telling the Daily Mirror: "I have a relationship with Jessica and we are best friends. We are working through things. We treat our relationship and parenting as the most important thing in our lives."
The star added: "We’ve had a really difficult year, but through all of the difficulties Jessica stayed my best friend and we’re still deeply close."
