Nick Knowles fans in stitches as he rows with 'grumpy' builder

A heated clash between Nick Knowles and fellow DIY SOS builder Julian Perryman had viewers talking on Tuesday night.

The scene of the drama was a community project in Stoke-on-Trent, Stoke Live reports. The Big Build team's a community centre and garden for residents to help the most vulnerable, combat loneliness and help foster community spirit in Staffordshire. Worried by the state of the water-logged ground once work had begun onsite, presenter Nick Knowles, 59, said: "By mid-morning, we've found ourselves in a bit of a hole.

"The water table is like six inches below the surface. We've found the old stream, it's got nowhere to go." Pointing to the trees, a concerned Mr Knowles continued: "The line of trees grew in what was a ditch a long time ago. Because the roots fill up that ditch, water can't go down it so the water percolates into the ground around it.
