Nick Knowles and his new wife Katie pack on the PDA as they are seen for the first time since their wedding at Royal Ascot day four
Nick Knowles and his wife Katie packed on the PDA as they were seen for the first time since their wedding as they led the glamour at Royal Ascot day four on Friday.
The presenter, 62, exchanged vows with his lingerie brand boss bride, 34, during a six-figure wedding at Braxted Park, Essex, earlier this month.
At Ascot Katie wore a blue and white dress very similar to her wedding dress as she planted a kiss on her husband.
She added a smart navy hat to her look and boosted her height with strappy nude heels while beaming for the camera.
By her side Nick cut a smart figure in a black suit and light blue silk waist coat as the pair proved they were very much still in their honeymoon period.
Also at the racing event was regular Georgia Toffolo who looked the epitome of chic in a red dress with statement sleeves.
Royal Ascot, the jewel in the crown of the UK racing calendar, kicked off on Tuesday with the Queen Anne Stakes and will run until Saturday.
King Charles and Camilla are likely to arrive in the famous carriage procession along the course and past the stands that will welcome hundreds of thousands of punters during the five-day meet.
It is a royal tradition that has reached its 200th anniversary this year after it was first held in 1825 during the reign of King George IV.
The festival was founded by Queen Anne in 1711 after she declared Ascot ideal for 'horses fit for kings' and it is now a major social event and sporting attraction.
Last week newly-weds Katie and Nick shared a glimpse into their lavish wedding on social media as they partied into the night.
The fun continued into the early hours, as the couple shared a series of sweet photos and clips on Instagram from their happy day.
Katie wowed in a stunning second white bridal dress for the reception while Nick looked dapper in a pink blazer.
The couple showed off their fun side as they posed in a photo booth wearing costume hats and Katie held a wired telephone.
In another clip, the couple danced while Katie jokingly shook her head at her new husband's moves as he whipped off his pink suit jacket flinging it around his head.
As guests made their arrival for the nuptials, they were greeted with a cheeky nod to Nick's TV success, as a huge sign boasted the words: 'Welcome to Katie's wedding... ft TV's Nick Knowles.'
Earlier in the evening, Katie wore her quirky floral print wedding dress, which she wore for the ceremony, for the couple's first dance and cutting their huge cake.
The couple pulled out all the stops for their guests with a live band providing the music whilst a carnival dancer bedecked in feathers took to the floor at one point.
The couple began dating in 2021 after they met when their children became friends at a play centre and got engaged in 2023.
The couple are said to have spared no expense on their special day, which was reportedly attended by a whole host of celebrity guests, including Nick's Strictly co-stars.
Last month, Katie kicked off the wedding celebrations with her hen do at luxury boutique hotel Karma Sanctum, where she was joined by close friends Kirsty Shaw-Rayner and Sherene Fuller.
The group arrived on a beer bus and then headed through party district Soho wearing Nick Knowles face masks, much to the amusement of Katie, ahead of partying at Karma Sanctum.
Katie was later entertained by two buff men dressed as a fireman and policeman as the party carried on into the early hours.
Katie and the TV star have been subject to cruel trolling during their relationship, with critics mocking their age difference and financial setup.
Speaking exclusively to MailOnline, about the 'gold digger' jibes, Katie admitted they don't get to her as much as they used to because she and Nick know it's not true.
She said: 'I think at the start, it was probably more irritating, especially for my family. But now those comments kind of just pass over me because we both know it's not true.
'Nick works hard, he has what he has. I work hard, I have what I have and then we buy each other stuff.'
Katie continued: 'We're both really comfortable with where we are with that and you will always get it because there's an age gap.
'I know plenty of people who are together and the same age where someone's using the other one for money and they're not happy.
'So as long as I know it's not true and he knows it's not true, I think that's, that's pretty much all that matters.'
Nick has an estimated £7.5 million net worth but Katie has built up an impressive lingerie brand, having launched Boa Boa in 2022.
She has proved to be her own best advert for the brand, modelling the skimpy looks to her 102,000 Instagram followers.

Britpop legend reveals band's unreleased new song is a ‘banger' ahead of first album in 12 years
OCEAN Colour Scene are working on new music which could become the band's first album in 12 years, The Sun can exclusively reveal. The popular British band has five top 10 albums to its name but hasn't put out a full length release since 2013's Painting. 4 4 That might soon change as frontman Simon Fowler has written three new tracks, one of which guitarist Steve Cradock has branded a "banger". In an exclusive interview with The Sun ahead of their performance at Godiva Festival, Cradock, 55, said: "Simon sent me three tunes, that's what I've heard. I've demoed them up to a point where they sound f**king smart. There's one banger, and there's one interesting one. "I mean, we haven't done a record in like 11 years or something, we've been waiting for Simon to write for a long, long time. " The Beatles wrote together for eight years. That sort of puts it into some kind of funk. From where I sit at the moment, it would be fun for us all to do it, I think." The group's back catalogue includes singles The Day We Caught The Train and The Riverboat Song, both of which are currently getting play time during festival season. Having released 10 albums to date, Cradock is content playing Ocean Colour Scene's hits, of which there are many - 17 top 40 singles to be precise. "I don't think it would make a difference to gigs, if I'm honest," he says of a new record. "Because we've kind of got what we are through all the albums that we did back in the day. And when we play festivals, we play the main singles that people know, obviously. "I don't see the point in being self-absorbed when you're doing festivals. You've just got to play the songs that people hopefully will know. And leave it at that. "It's different for your own gigs. There's many tunes that we can unearth. I think that those sort of fans would find it interesting." While he wouldn't be drawn on a timescale for a new album, Cradock says the creative process could be very quick if material is right. Paul Weller - Wildwood "If the songs are there, it wouldn't take me long at all to produce it and to get it out." Away from Ocean Colour Scene, Cradock plays guitar for Paul Weller, a role he's held since 1992. Last year's 66 featured in numerous best of 2024 lists and will be followed this July by the Modfather's covers album, Finding El Dorado, featuring the likes of Robert Plant and Noel Gallagher. "It's beautiful, because you can see what a creative force Paul Weller is," he says. "That's just what he does, and he's a force of nature, and he's a force of melody. When you're in the studio, you see things happen just like that, in the instant, the second. And then, by the end of the day, something's happened. "There's not many days that I've seen where people got that disappointed. To be around that creative process is great." 4 4 Weller didn't hang around, laying it down in just 10 days, and there were no egos in the studio despite the calibre of musicians involved. Led Zeppelin frontman Plant turned up ready and willing to work like a regular session musician. "He was prepared for it, like a working musician, not a rock god," says Cradock. "He was humbling and he played some beautiful harp. Then we asked if he would sing and he sang and it was just like, 'wow'." Mod fan Cradock rejoiced in hearing Plant's tales from his days before superstardom, particularly how he played a role in a notorious battle between two subcultures on the south coast. "He told me he left the Black Country in '64 on his hand-painted Lambretta, went down to Hastings and got involved in the mods and rockers fight and then drove back on his Lambretta. "It blew my mind the fact that you've got this sort of rock icon who was originally a mod fighting the rockers. "He was a gentleman and he's a great singer and he's really tuned in to what's happening in that moment you know, a true professional, a G. He's a f***ing G." Music fans can hear Plant do his thing when the record is released on July 25.
