Nick Knowles who is currently presenting ‘Last Choir Standing’ on Saturday nights, revealed that when he was first approached to host the show he thought it would flop.

A talented presenter, Nick Knowles is well known to TV viewers as the host of DIY SOS, City Hospital and Who Dares Wins. Nick has presented a range of programmes across news, sport, quiz shows, documentary features and entertainment in a TV career that has spanned Sydney, Phoenix, Arizona, and Maidstone.

Recent travels have included a visit to Nairobi for Comic Relief and he presented a heart-rending report from Zambia for Sport Relief. Equally at home fronting a series of wedding programmes, BBC One’s The Big Day, and highlighting the plight of Orang-utans in Borneo for the BBC’s Saving Planet Earth series, Nick will be bringing the versatility and zest he brought to his singing on Fame Academy to his co-hosting duties on Last Choir Standing.

Nick is mad about music and, before he got into television, he played in several bands – teaming up with his brother at various bars and clubs in London and the Midlands.
