Nick, 62, was seen clad in a leg brace which spanned from his left ankle to his knee, and negotiating the pavements with a pair of crutches.
The DIY SOS frontman also had an arm brace covering his left elbow from a separate injury, and wore a short-sleeve top to better accommodate for his strapping.
He enjoyed a smooch with Katie outside the pair's Berkshire property before heading to their vehicle.
The lingerie brand founder donned maroon-coloured leggings, brown boots and a nude cardigan, holding Nick's coat as he made his way to the vehicle.

She pulled her brunette hair up in a ponytail and wore minimal make-up for their day out.
Mum of one Katie - who will marry the telly icon next year - then stood close by the passenger door as Nick slid his way onto the seat.
Nick's first injury mishap came before he was booted off Strictly with show partner Luba Mushtuk.
It occurred when Nick was changing a tyre on his car, resulting in him hurting his shoulder after the first live show.

The presenter's Strictly future was then left hanging in the balance after a failed knee jump in rehearsals, leaving him on crutches and needing his surgery.
He has kept his fans in the loop with his health battles, recently revealing he needed an MRI scan on his arm.
TELLY RETURN
Meanwhile, The Sun recently exclusively revealed Nick's return date to telly despite his injuries.
The DIY SOS anchor will be back on screens in the New Year for another run of his Amazing Railway Adventures on Channel 5.
An insider said: "It's clear viewers enjoy a railway during, given the sheer amount of shows on right now across multiple channels, it's escapism television.
"Chris Tarrant's previous travel series performed well for Channel 5 before the veteran decided to retire and Nick is just as popular with viewers.
"Another adventure was recorded well before Nick signed up to appear on Strictly Come Dancing.
"It's been kept on the shelf by bosses but will be broadcast at some point next year in a prime time slot."
Nick has previously told how his operation will require him to keep things low-key over the festive period.
He explained: "I’ll be resting until February but then I’m due to film for DIY SOS.
“I’m really hoping I’ll be back on my feet by then, although I won’t be fully recovered until August next year.
