Nick Knowles moves on from Shreddies fiasco to ask fans for ‘help and advice’

It's 'BBQ Sunday' apparently!

Nick Knowles appears to have moved on from his Shreddies ad fiasco if his latest tweet is anything to go by.

The DIY SOS host has stepped back from this year’s Children in Need special following a row with the BBC.

They said the ad violated its advertising rules and, as a result, Nick and the Beeb were said to be embroiled in crunch talks.

Now, however, breakfast cereals appear to be the furthest thing from his mind as he asked his followers for their “help and advice”.

He said: “Need your help and advice folks.

“Gonna invest in a proper BBQ so gonna listen to you all.”

He added: “It’s BBQ Sunday. What is the best BBQ device in the country pound for pound – versatility – ease of use – ease of cleaning? Charcoal, gas, Egg, barrel.

“Let’s hear it from those that know!”

Need your help and advice folks.

Nick’s fans appeared only too happy to help, with many recommending “anything by Weber”.

However, one had a more pressing question.

“More importantly, what are you having on said BBQ?” they asked.
