Nick Knowles, famed for his role on BBC's DIY SOS, has opened up about a devastating realisation he had following a heartbreaking loss.The Strictly Come Dancing star, 61, revealed the poignant story to Death: A Changing Industry, a podcast that explores the funeral industry and the psychological impact of bereavement.Nick confessed that he was "constantly being accused" of being old-fashioned, something he said comes from his dad.
However, he admitted that he found it "incredibly difficult" when his dad became "emotional" after suffering a stroke.He said: "They all come from my dad and then suddenly with the stroke, he was very emotional and would cry.
And I found that incredibly difficult so I didn't visit him when he was in the care home as much as I should've done in the last year of his life."Nick added: "And then he passed away and I had this moment of realisation that I'd let him down at the most difficult time in his life by not being able to handle it.
