Noel Edmonds, the beloved telly icon who shot to fame alongside Mr Blobby on Noel's House Party in 1991, is making a major TV comeback. According to reports, he has signed a £1 million deal with ITV after a fierce bidding war that lasted 10 months. The three-part series will be filmed on his 11-hectare River Haven estate in New Zealand, where he has been living since 2019.
The show will follow Noel as he tends to the vineyards on his estate and even pulls pints at his 17th-century pub. It's been described as a Jeremy Clarkson-style show, and insiders are confident it will be a hit. In fact, there's hope that it will also boost New Zealand's tourism industry, especially in the wake of the pandemic and its aftermath.
An insider revealed, "Noel's incredible - and very eccentric - life is going to make TV gold. Executives are hoping that he will do for tourism what Jeremy has done for British farming. For his part, Noel is excited to show the world that he hasn't retired and that this new chapter of his life is a thrilling adventure."
The production company behind popular shows like The Chase and Ninja Warrior, Potato, is on board for the project, which is tentatively titled "Noel's Haven." This will mark Noel's first major TV project in almost a decade, following his stint on Deal or No Deal, which ended in 2016.
Although Noel has made sporadic appearances on TV since then, including a stint on I'm A Celebrity in 2017, his last mainstream show was six years ago. His gameshow sitcom hybrid, Cheap Cheap Cheap, failed to impress viewers, but his previous shows, such as Top Gear and Noel's House Party, cemented his status as a household name.
Noel's career in television dates back to the 1970s when he first presented Top of the Pops. He then went on to host Multi-Coloured Swap Shop and even made appearances on Top Gear in the late 1970s and 1980s. However, it was Noel's House Party that catapulted him to superstardom and made him a household name.
It's clear that Noel has had an illustrious career in television, and this new show is just another exciting chapter for him. With his unique charm and eccentric personality, it's no wonder there was a "feeding frenzy" among production companies to secure the rights to his comeback project. We can't wait to see what Noel has in store for us with this new show.
