Nick Knowles couldn't hide his emotions during the latest episode of DIY SOS. The incredible BBC One show was back on screens on Tuesday night (June 14) as the team and tradespeople from the local area came together to pull off another impressive project for a deserving family.

But the Chapman family's already agonising ordeal was made worse weeks before filming for the show began. Dad Peter was in the process of building an extension for his family at their home in Charlton Kings, near Cheltenham, when he received a devastating diagnosis.

While caring 24/7 for his wife and Sarah and daughter Suzanne, who are at different stages of a long-term genetic disorder called myotonic dystrophy, the 60-year-old former car mechanic and hospital porter was diagnosed with fibromyalgia.
