Nick Knowles has revealed that a rooftop jam with Biffy Clyro helped bag him a major label record deal.
Knowles made the claim on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here while discussing his musical abilities with The Inbetweeners star Emily Atack.
"I’ve always played," says the DIY SOS presenter. "My brother’s a really good musician and I’ve always played along with him and a couple of years ago somebody heard me, I was playing on a rooftop bar in Soho with some other bands...
“Somebody from a record company saw me doing it and I got a phone call saying, ‘I’m from Universal, want to do an album?’” he added.
The 56-year-old added more detail in the Bush Telegraph, saying: “It’s probably best not to say who they are because it would be embarrassing for them more than anything else. Actually, they won’t mind, they’re nice lads, it was Biffy Clyro."
