There are multiple stories of him cheating, sexting when in a relationship with pregnant people, and just generally treating women like shit.

He is on Loose Women, showcasing his new singing career, milking his 'cheeky chappy' persona, talking about his Nana and his kids, and is being fawned over by all the presenters.

He is obviously a huge bellend (he probably claims he is a 'sexual addict's or something) and i just don't get why people still seem to love him?

Urm you just started a thread to slate him about having 5 children with 3 different women 😕

MrsJayy · 18/10/2017 13:47

Wait a minute Nick knowles has an album Shock

Gymntonic · 18/10/2017 13:47

I agree OP. Had same discussion with friends a while ago. We were given tickets to see chitty chitty bang bang last Xmas. He was in that too as romantic lead. Very odd.

GinisLife · 18/10/2017 13:47

I love him. I follow him on FB and he seems very genuine. He's a very hands on Dad. He's has his kids a lot so while they may be from 3 mums he does love them.

Thunderblunder · 18/10/2017 13:49

Have no opinion on whether he's funny or not but I thought he had 5 children with 2 woman.
He had 4 with his ex wife so that leaves 1 with another woman if he has 5.

What, Nick Knowles has an album???

DameXanaduBramble · 18/10/2017 13:49

I’m afraid so, MrsJayy. I’m afraid so.

No I didn't, I started a thread to slate him for treating the women he is in a relationship with like crap. The resultant babies are a side issue, I didn't even know he had 5 by 3.

I met him once when he visited a stall I was helping on at a charity event. He seemed very nice and friendly.

Pregnant people OP?

Surely you mean pregnant women?

Raisedbyguineapigs · 18/10/2017 13:51

Ok I take that back. I was sure the 4th child was from an affair just after his twins were born. He still unfunny and can't sing though imoGrin

Pregnant people OP?

Sorry, I put that because I was already writing women in the same sentence and it felt a bit clumsy, but yes, pregnant women!

BitOutOfPractice · 18/10/2017 13:52

I don't follow him on FB but some of my friends do so his posts often come up through 'likes'. Yes, he is always going on about his kids and stuff

Yep all the "look at me taking kids on holiday without a woman, aren't I cool / clever / liberated" shit. Does my noodle in

musicform · 18/10/2017 13:53

I used to find him funny but now he's meh - I used to love Jimmy Carr and now find him a bit much

musicform · 18/10/2017 13:53

I have zero interest in his personal life

LuckyAmy1986 · 18/10/2017 13:56

So overatted IMO, just like James Corden, Russell Brand and Jack Whitehall.

LuckyAmy1986 · 18/10/2017 13:57

Overrated!

Littlecaf · 18/10/2017 14:00

So he has 4 kids with his ex wife. And another with a girlfriend he is still with.

Like many people he has children with two different people.

Judge much?

dustarr73 · 18/10/2017 14:06

He cant win.If he didnt bother with his kids,he be slated.He brings his kids on holiday on his own,hes slated.

I find him funny,and whether hes a cheat is between him and his ex wife.Nobody else.Its not like he murdered anyone.

guiltynetter · 18/10/2017 14:07

i'm pretty sure there isn't 'multiple stories' of him cheating and treating women like shit. a quick google found a couple from years ago and if you see what he's up to recently i'm sure people can forget about it. he's not the only celebrity who's been caught messing around with women (vernon kay, hugh grant, etc!)

rainbowbreeze123 · 18/10/2017 14:09

I went watching him and ALL the jokes he told were ones hed already said on the various shows he does. I was fuming !

Sillysausage123 · 18/10/2017 14:12

I live near him and he does a lot for our area without having to be asked.
He is always approachable out and about and not up himself like other celebs.
He seems to have grown up in the past few years

Katedotness1963 · 18/10/2017 14:13

I used to follow his FB page but he annoyed the hell out of me.

WaxOnFeckOff · 18/10/2017 14:14

I uesd to follow him on FB becasue some of my friends did. Then I realised he is a dick so deleted him. Massive ego, very little talent imo.
