DIY SOS could have faced 'axe' if BBC bosses refused to let Nick Knowles return
BBC had refused to let Nick Knowles return after his rule-breaking Shreddies advert, according to his co-star.The presenter was suspended last year after playing a builder in a TV commercial for the breakfast cereal, which was deemed to breach Auntie’s editorial guidelines.BBC bosses reportedly suggested that the ad breaches its advertising rules and that Nick was told that he needed to get it pulled otherwise he would be forced to leave the show. Luckily, Nick and the BBC were able to settle their differences as he returned to the show later on that year.Speaking for the first time since the star was allowed back on site, plasterer Chris Frediani says: “Nick is back steering - and the great DIY SOS ship sails on.“It wouldn’t have worked if Nick didn’t come back.
