Nick Knowles and Pascal Craymer romance heating up – after she confirms new relationship with DIY pin-up
DIY SOS presenter Nick Knowles and TOWIE’s Pascal Craymer are planning a second date, The Sun Online can exclusively reveal.
The pair’s relationship is heating up and their first date, which took place last week, went so well that friends of the couple say they’re preparing to go out again.
“Things between Nick and Pascal are going really well,” says a source. “There’s no pressure, they’re taking things slow and seeing how things go, but there’s definitely another evening out in the pipeline.”
“Nick is quite private and has been cautious about rushing into anything new, but Pascal is really fun and they had a great time last week.”
Pascal confirmed the relationship via her rep last week, saying: "It's very early days. They had a wonderful night. Let's see what happens."
Last week, The Sun Online revealed that Nick and Pascal had met up in North London for a romantic dinner at Gabeto in Camden.
A source said: “Nick and Pascal were introduced a little while ago by a mutual friend, and have been talking ever since.
“Last night was their first official public date - they went to Gabeto in Camden and ate loads of amazing tapas and drank cocktails.
“The chemistry between them was amazing - it went so well.”
The pair were seen leaving the restaurant looking cosy with their arms linked and clearly looking comfortable in one another’s company.
Pascal, 30, wore a pale pink and green dress with a floral design, and matching strappy heels and a jacket, and Nick, 54, who wore jeans with a black T-shirt and blazer thought she looked “stunning.”
The source continued: “He thought she looked really stunning, they were there for hours laughing and talking.
“He likes her as she's really sporty, and fun.”
Earlier this week, Pascal’s rep confirmed the relationship, saying: “'It's very early days. They had a wonderful night. Let's see what happens.”
The source adds: “It's a big thing for Nick to go on a public date as he's been very cautious in the past, since finally separating from his wife Jessica.”
The presenter was stung last year when actress Gemma Oaten revealed they were in a relationship while he was still married to Jessica after they were pictured embracing outside the TV Choice Awards.
However Nick revealed to The Sun Online that the experience has left him cautious about finding love.
He bluntly stated: "It wasn't a relationship.

"She's talked about it as a relationship - it was never a relationship, we went on one date."
He added: "I'm choosing very carefully, and will choose in future, who I go on a date with, and try to choose someone who isn't so desperate for publicity."
Nick and Jessica, 29, called time on their marriage earlier this year, after briefly trying to salvage it following her cervical cancer scare last year.
The couple have a son, Eddie, two, and are striving for an amicable separation.
