Noel Edmonds is back on our screens - and viewers are convinced he's somehow dodged the ageing process altogether. The 76-year-old former Deal or No Deal presenter has returned to ITV with his new docuseries, Noel Edmonds' Kiwi Adventure, which follows his new life in rural New Zealand. And after the second episode aired on Friday (June 27), fans couldn't stop commenting on his age-defying looks.
One viewer wrote on X: "How old is this man for real? he was at least 100 years old when I was 10. I'm 54 now. Does Noel Edmonds never get any older?" Another added: "Watching Noel Edmonds on ITV, does he ever age? He looks the same as when he was on TV years ago." A third chimed in: "Seems a bit of a fruit loop, but Noel Edmonds certainly looks good for his age" One more chimed in, making a big hair statement, declaring: "Noel Edmonds, undoubtedly the best hair in show business."
The three-part series marks a rare return to primetime for the former Swap Shop and Top of the Pops host, who moved to New Zealand in 2018 after stepping back from UK television.
Edmonds and his wife Liz purchased an 800-acre estate in the quiet town of Ngatimoti, where they launched a hospitality business called River Haven.
The series follows Edmonds' efforts to transform the land into a luxury retreat, complete with vineyard, pub and farming lifestyle.
His pub - cheekily named the Bugger Inn - is just one part of the plan. But as viewers saw in episode two, things haven't been easy.
At one point in the episode, the former I'm a Celeb star admitted he "was haemorrhaging money" as he struggled to get his ambitious venture off the ground.
On top of financial woes, Edmonds has also had to adapt to life in a seismically active region, experiencing frequent earthquakes and battling extreme weather conditions.
Still, many fans are just happy to see him back - and still bringing his trademark sense of mischief.
One viewer shared: "Loving this, Noel still has that mischievous sense of humour. Pity not still doing Deal or No Deal, but Kiwi life is suiting him."
Another gushed: "Noel is the gift that keeps on giving. He's a national treasure and it's so refreshing to see him and his wife doing so well in NZ. He is so missed on our screens."
Others drew comparisons to Clarkson's Farm, with one post reading: "It feels like Noel Edmonds is trying to recreate Clarkson's Farm. Like Jeremy and Kaleb with this guy helping him? Just me?"
Noel Edmonds' Kiwi Adventure airs on ITV and ITVX. The third and final episode is due next week.
