I’m a Celebrity 2018: Nick Knowles’s son blasts claims dad is fake
NICK Knowles's son Charles defended his dad yesterday over claims he has been "fake" in camp to try to win votes and be crowned Jungle king.
The DIY SOS presenter, 56, has divided viewers - with some loving all the help he gives and others thinking he has an agenda. Knowles gave his luxury pillow to Anne Hegerty, 60, and took almost all the games for his team in the immunity challenge to ensure he could not be voted out first. His actions have been criticised by some fans who think he has a definite game plan.
But Charles defended his dad, saying: "There will always be a negative side when someone is being nice and kind to people.
"That's the line of work he is in.
"We know this is how Dad is and he will always help others. Even if others doubt him for doing it.
"He always says you don't do things for a medal, you do it because it's the right thing to do.
I’m a Celeb: Harry says Nick has shown his 'true colours'
"Dad's just being dad. He's caring, kind and always puts others before himself. He deserves to be crowned king of the jungle because he's put everyone above him and has shown to be a true leader for others."
In camp Nick has won praise from the other celebrities for putting his DIY skills to good use.
In the Bush Telegraph he explained: "We managed to create a screen, weaved some palm for Harry to keep the smoke away from him.
"We built a tripod to dry our clothes and we built a washing line so we have already built a few things."
