The telly favourite definitely showed of his funny side in the new post as he tried to keep an element of mystery to what his new venture could be.

He captioned the post: "I’m having a great couple of days filming but I can’t tell you what I’m up to."

In the video, Nick began by walking out in front of his impressive winnebago after a bite to eat and told his fans: "So I've just had some lunch, there's catering, I'm doing some filming today...

"I've got a winnebago. I've got a winnebago. It's not a DIY SOS but I thought I'd kinda... I was trying to think of how I could give you a clue about what I'm actually doing and where I'm doing it."

The presenter, who is most well-known for his hosting roles on DIY SOS, Who Dares Wins and Break the Safe, began to walk further away from the motor to give his fans a bigger picture.

He sarcastically added: "And I can't think of anything that I could say to you that would give it away or not...."

As he pondered about ways to give subtly hint at what he's been doing, the camera man zoomed in on one of the buildings behind him that had the iconic 007 logo on it.

Nick began to walk away from the camera and joked: "So I'm going to have to leave it, but you know it's fun and exciting and I'll try and let you know when I can..."

Back in September it was confirmed that the upcoming movie, titled No Time To Die, will be Daniel Craig’s last time playing the world’s most famous spy.

It will be the actor's fifth and final portrayal as the MI-6 agent after taking on the role from 2006 in Casino Royale, Quantum Of Solace, Skyfall and Spectre.

No Time To Die, which has become the most expensive James Bond film ever – at a cost of £200million, was supposed to premiere in April this year but the current coronavirus pandemic halted production.

So now we know that directors are on the look out for a new Bond, fans have been trying to guess who they think could be Daniel's replacement.

And it's looking like Nick Knowles might just be able to join the long list of legendary actors who have played out the spy - including Daniel, Sean Connery, Piers Brosman, Roger Moore and many more.

However there has also been talk of many other actors who could play out the role as the future 007.

Back in September it was reported that heartthrob Tom Hardy is to replace Daniel Craig as the new James Bond.

James Norton and  are big names said to be in the running, as well as rumours going around that director Sam Mendez will introduce Idris Elba as the first black actor to play the famous role.
