Katie Piper joked Nick Knowles didn't recognise her with her clothes off when he appeared on Loose Women today.
The DIY SOS star, 60 was on holiday with his girlfriend recently when Katie, 39, popped up at the resort in her bikini.
Joking about the awkward encounter, the panellist said: "Shall I tell the story? OK, so we are both on holiday... We didn't realise we were staying in the same resort and there's Nick behind us. Nick has done lots for my charity, I have known him for many years now haven't I?
"He has been a great friend to us all. So I thought 'I will go and say hi to him' and I wandered over, and when I am on holiday I cover up because my skin is grafted and I had a hat down to here, and sunglasses, with just a bikini..."
Katie added: "And you were on the sun lounger, in your swimwear, with your girlfriend."
