Noel Edmonds strips topless as ITV drops a first look at his new life abroad after quitting the UK and being replaced on Deal Or No Deal.
The TV personality and radio presenter, 76, was best known for his stint hosting the Channel 4 game show from 2005 to 2016 when it ended, before its revival with Stephen Mulhern in 2023.
But after more than 50 years on British TV and radio, Noel left the UK in 2018 with his wife Liz to build a new life in New Zealand.
They have now opened a hospitality business in the small rural, riverside town of Ngatimoti, which includes a vineyard, coffee cart, general store, restaurant and pub.
And ITV has now given viewers a first look at his new reality show Noel Edmonds’ Kiwi Adventure, set to launch on June 20 – which sees the presenter literally bare all.

First-look images of the programme show Noel stripping down to show off his toned physique, seemingly to enter a kind of plunge pool.
Other pictures show Noel and Liz at work on their business, known as River Haven, with one depicting them outside its on-site pub, cheekily named The B***er Inn.
With some showing them beaming, and others seeing them in deep, serious conversation, it suggests their entrepreneurial journey has not always been smooth.
The couple only bought the land for their business two years ago – so it is only just now entering its second full season of trading.
And Noel admits in the first-look trailer: ‘New Zealand’s a great place to come to. It’s not the easiest place to set up a business.’
The veteran presenter also confesses at another point in the clip: ‘We’re haemorrhaging money at the moment.’
Not only are they trying to get their existing business up and running, Noel will also strive to build New Zealand’s first energy garden in the upcoming show.
It is a lot of pressure after moving 11,500 miles away – and the programme will see the couple battle unseasonal weather, bad press and feelings of still being outsiders.

It remains to be seen whether they will survive the challenges life down under throws at them.
The first look at his new show comes after a bizarre moment for Noel – which saw him wear completely odd shoes during a recent video on his social media page.
The legendary broadcaster danced alongside a bronze statue of the Bee Gees on their native Isle of Man on Monday – but his moves were not the only thing that caught the eye.
Noel, who interviewed the iconic band many times over the years, braved the wind in a brown leather jacket alongside his bizarre footwear in the clip.
The video saw him poke fun at himself over his resemblance to singing siblings Barry, Maurice and Robin Gibb – with their long, fluffy hair.
Noel choose to wear light brown lace-up boots on his left foot and slip-on dark brown boots on his right.
He shared a clip to Instagram as he danced to Stayin’ Alive and wrote: ‘Great stars who became my good friends celebrated here on The Isle of Man.’
Fans rushed to the comments to express their confusion: ‘He’s got odd shoes on!’: ‘I do really love him! Just noticed the shoes though’;

‘Read a long while ago that he always wears odd shoes’: ‘He’s got two pairs of those’: ‘I see that and thought nah he wouldn’t.’
But astonishingly, this is not the first time Noel has been spotted wearing odd shoes on the Isle of Man.
In May 2024, stunned fans flooded Facebook with comments after spotting the presenter’s strange footwear as he took a trip to the island’s Laxey Beach Stop Cafe.
Noel Edmonds’ Kiwi Adventure will be available to watch on ITV1 and to stream on ITVX on June 20.
