JESSICA Moor is the ex-wife of TV personality and Strictly Come Dancing 2024 star Nick Knowles.
But who is the presenter’s estranged wife? Here’s everything you need to know about Jessica.
Who is Jessica Moor?
Jessica Rose Moor is the ex-wife of DIY SOS and Strictly 2024 star Nick Knowles.
She is 26 years younger than her ex-husband.
The pair share a son together, named Eddie, who they co-parent.
In 2016, Jessica fell ill in 2016 in a battle with cervical cancer.
She told This Morning that the hardest part of the battle was dealing with “guilt”.
She said: “When my doctor told me I had cancer, I looked at my mum’s face and it was the worst thing I could have done.
“Because I just know as a mum myself.
“I would take it 100 times over Eddie having it.
“I think for my mum to have to go through it that was really hard”.
When did Jessica Moor and Nick Knowles meet?
The couple met in 2009 and waited three years before tying the knot.
Nick and Jessica then welcomed their son two years later in 2014.
They later separated in January 2016 but Nick supported Jessica through her cancer fight.
Following her recovery, Jessica decided to give their marriage a second try – but they decided to divorce in December 2016.
Why did Jessica Moor and Nick Knowles get divorced?
Although the reason behind their split has not been revealed, Nick has previously claimed that his TV commitments has affected his past relationships.
He said: “My relationships have pretty much followed a pattern.
“They last six months and start off with me explaining that I work a lot, so will have commitment issues.
“The women involved agree that that is fine, then after a month I get a phone saying ‘This isn’t on’.
“After three months we split up, then get back together. After five, there’s another tussle. At six it’s all off.”
Just over a year after they broke things off for good, Jessica accused Nick of refusing to pay school fees for their son Eddie.
She claimed the TV star had gone back on a plan to send the three-year-old to public school.

Posting on Twitter she said: “As all parents can relate, children starting school is an incredibly emotional and happy time.
“I did not submit a submission for Eddie as it has been long agreed by my (soon to be ex) husband that Eddie would be privately educated — a luxury he is in the position to afford, as he has done for all his other children.
“As such, Eddie is enrolled to start private school this September (a school that me and my husband visited and chose together) except that he won’t, as I was advised by my husband’s solicitor that this promise has been withdrawn.”
She added: “To add insult to injury – like many men in his position of wealth and power he has advised he will not pay any legal fees meaning that I cannot afford to fight for our son’s education.
My husband has also said he will not purchase a house or give a settlement of any kind for us, this is disappointing but not unexpected — some people’s generosity is only present in front of TV cameras.”
Nick furiously denied the allegations — which have since disappeared from Jessica’s social media feed.
