Nick Knowles and his fiancée Katie Dadzie walked hand in hand as they attended the third day of the Cheltenham Festival on Thursday.

The DIY SOS presenter, 61, who proposed to Katie, 33, in New Orleans in July, looked happier than ever with his wife-to-be.

She presented herself stylishly in a burgundy red wool coat with gold buttons, which she combined with a pair of heeled boots.

Katie styled her look with a green patterned silk scarf and a matching leather handbag, before pinning her hair with a black bow.

Nick opted for a sleek navy blue suit with a white shirt, a colorful tie and a brown waxed jacket over it.

Cheltenham Festival punters faced ‘absolute bedlam’ trying to leave the racecourse as heavy rain caused traffic chaos on the opening day of the event.

Heavy rain and soggy fields created a nightmare in the festival car parks as thousands tried to get home at the end of an exciting day of racing.

Vehicles became stuck in the heavy mud, causing queues of up to two hours on the opening day of the four-day event.

Those arriving to watch today’s race are also likely to encounter travel difficulties as footage this morning has shown tractors pulling stuck cars out of the thick mud after more heavy rain fell overnight.

More than 60,000 supporters attended the opening day of the prestigious 164-year-old race, swarming the course grandstands, racing rings and Guinness Village.

Rain was expected to fall this week, but last night’s showers were significantly heavier than forecast, forcing today’s Glenfarclas Cross-County Chase to be postponed.

The race is held on a different track than other races at the festival and does not drain very well.

The track had expected 2-4mm of rain overnight, but 6mm has already fallen – and a further 6mm of rain is forecast.

A Cheltenham spokesperson said: “Following 11mm of rain yesterday, there has been no improvement in conditions on the Cross Country Course and with parts of the course unrideable the Cross Country Chase has unfortunately been abandoned.

“Forecasts for the remainder of the week remain uncertain, with further showers likely on both Thursday and Friday.

“There will therefore be insufficient improvement on the Cross Country course on Friday and it has been decided not to reschedule the race.”
