Overview
- The jibe “Nick Knowles ate Pudsey!” followed his appearance on a DIY SOS Children in Need episode that aided The Joshua Tree cancer-support charity.
- Knowles said the same account had previously targeted his wife, who suffered serious complications after a hysterectomy earlier this year.
- He wrote that the user was reported to their employer and asked whether the poster should seek counselling for their fixation.
- Supporters rushed to defend the presenter, after which he asked followers to keep responses civil and to let the matter lie, citing a possible mental-health element.
- The special documented a rapid 12-day overhaul at the charity’s Cheshire headquarters to expand support for more families.
