Big House Clear Out: Nick Knowles left in tears over death of woman's husband

Presenter Nick Knowles broke down and was left in tears when a late military veteran was honoured by a charity on Channel 5's Big House Clear Out. He could be seen visibly moved in the emotional episode.

Birmingham Live reports that during the episode a woman called Sarah was told her late husband's military collection was to be showcased by a charity. Her husband Trevor died at the age of 55.

The military veteran suffered a fatal heart attack in Dubai. Nick explained to her: "I'll make you a promise. You do the tough stuff, get through the emotional bit of getting rid of half your stuff and you’re going to have an amazing house."

In emotional scenes, a charity came forward and agreed to showcase her husband's military collection. Nick said: "To Trevor, that would have been really important, wouldn't it?"

A representative from the charity then added: "With your permission, we would love to have a photo of your husband and some of the history of his service career. So, when the vulnerable veterans come through, they can actually look at your husband as an inspiration to keep going in life."

Nick soon burst into tears, saying: "You've got me choking up now." Big House Clear Out continues to air on Channel 5 and also on the My 5 streaming platform.
