NICK Knowles presented an extra emotional edition of DIY SOS this week as they joined forces with Children in Need.
The DIY SOS host teamed up with a whole host of Radio 2 presenters to help the lives of the community called the Getaway girls.
The show was part of a BBC Children in Need special, and led to Nick having an emotional moment during the episode.
Nick and his DIY SOS team took on the challenge of transforming the home of Leeds’ Getaway Girls.
At the end, Nick praised the efforts of the team and said that for the last 35 years Getaway Girls has been making sure “women in this area feel empowered and safe.”
He said: “But there was such a need for the work they did, that they had outgrown their premises and there was no way that they could find new premises. Well that was until all this lot turned up.
