He is best known for hosting the daytime game show Deal Or No Deal from 2005 to 2016.
But these days, Noel Edmonds can be found living a holistic lifestyle as a resident of a sprawling multimillion-dollar estate in New Zealand.
The odd-shoe-wearing TV personality, 77, and his wife, Liz, 56, relocated to the country in 2019, where they live on their stunning 800-acre estate, which comes complete with an 'energy bowl' on the grounds which fills up with 'positive water' when it rains.
While his TV appearances are now few and far between, he briefly returned to the box with a three-part documentary series on ITV last year, which followed his new life on his estate.
After the show wrapped up, Noel, who divides his time between the Isle of Man and New Zealand, has kept a relatively low profile from the showbiz circuit.
That was until earlier this week when he sparked backlash after he posted a now viral clip online which showed him buying live lobsters from the supermarket to release into the sea.
Inside the eccentric life of Noel Edmonds after the Deal Or No Deal host left showbiz for a holistic retreat in rural New Zealand
While he now keeps a relatively low profile, Noel hit headlines after posting a clip online which showed him buying live lobsters from the supermarket to release into the sea
The presenter and his wife Liz were filmed returning the crustaceans to the water at Peel Harbour on the Isle of Man after purchasing them from a tank at a local farm shop.
In a clip shared on Instagram, he said that the couple felt 'uncomfortable' seeing the lobsters confined in the tank and decided to buy them so they could be set free.
Releasing a supermarket or restaurant lobster is generally discouraged due to low survival rates.
Handled and stressed lobsters are rarely equipped to survive in the wild, and releasing them can introduce foreign diseases or disrupt local marine ecosystems
Noel said in an Instagram video which now has its comments disabled: 'All right, this is one of those more bizarre things that happens with us.
'We were at a place where there were some lobsters in a tank, and we're a little bit uncomfortable about the lobsters and tanks.'
However, the move sparked backlash from his followers, as stressed lobsters are rarely equipped to survive in the wild, and releasing them can introduce foreign diseases.
The presenter took to Instagram on Wednesday to share a defeated post following the criticism, where he told his followers he was 'off to bed'.

Dressed in a red boiler suit and a hard hat, Noel said: 'Oh there you are, right... guess what I am about to do... oh yeah! I'm going to bed.'
When he's not catching lobsters, Noel is enjoying time at his River Haven estate, which features a restaurant, a vineyard, a pub and a wellness centre.
He appears to have embraced holism and wellness, with the Deal Or No Deal star giving fans a glimpse of his energy garden, a round patch of ground surrounded by rocks with an 'energy bowl' in the centre.
After a day of pouring rain, he delightedly revealed how the bowl had filled up with rainwater, exclaiming: 'My energy bowl has flooded! Oh my word!
'It's bubbling away here. That is a lot of positive water! Wow, incredible. Absolutely amazing.'
Last year, Noel claimed that the secret to his impressive health regime was what he called 'Tranquil Power'.
The TV star sent fans into a frenzy after showcasing his surprisingly ripped physique in a pair of swimming trunks after being named Torso Of The Week by Heat magazine.
And taking to Instagram, he joked with followers: 'So many of you have asked how I get the body of a 76 year old?

After a day of pouring rain, he delightedly revealed how the bowl had filled up with rainwater, exclaiming: 'My energy bowl has flooded! Oh my word! Look at all that positive water'
'Step 1: Turn 76. Step 2: Tranquil Power (see my Positivity Formula on Noel Edmonds Kiwi Adventure)'
He then teased: 'If that fails, bribe the lighting guy!' before falling into his outdoor pool.
Speaking to The Sun, Noel explained: 'The exercise I do, I call tranquil power. It’s about quiet and slow. You hold it [the weight], you feel the muscle burn and then let go.'
Later, discussing his morning routine, he added: 'I normally have a warm shower in the morning and wash it off with a cold shower.
'And then a sauna, infrared. It’s proven science and very good for you.'
In the past, Noel has revealed he also practises meditation, exercising slowly in darkness while listening to electronic pulses for an hour a week.
He also explained he lies on a £2,300 electromagnetic mat for 15 minutes a day, which he claims helped cure his cancer.
In terms of diet, Noel is believed to avoid red meat and maintains an alkaline diet which aims to balance the pH of your body.

Alkaline foods include fresh fruits, nuts, seeds, beans and non-starchy vegetables, rather than more acidic foods like meat, cheese, eggs, grains, and processed foods.
While the presenter also believes in cosmic ordering after he was given a book about it by his reflexologist.
He said that four of six wishes he wrote down and offered to the cosmos then came true, including his wish to front another hit show – which was Deal Or No Deal.
‘You’ll think I’ve gone away with the fairies, but it's fantastic!’ he said. He wrote a book, Positively Happy: Cosmic Ways To Change Your Life, in 2006.
He explained: ‘To me cosmic order is all about being a positive person who takes charge of your own life.
‘You have to make conscious decisions to go out and make things happen for you.
‘It’s not hocus-pocus New Age stuff. You don’t have to wear beads and smoke exotic substances to be able to get into it.’
Noel frequently gives updates on his idyllic New Zealand home on social media, and last year even released a three-part series, Noel Edmonds' Kiwi Adventure, documenting his new life in the Island Country
The cameras followed as he and Liz reopened their hospitality business to the public for their business's second full season.
The Deal Or No Deal star has also added winemaking to his repertoire at River Haven.
After quitting the UK in 2019, the couple first launched a network of radio stations near Auckland before moving to Ngatimoti three years later.
But in 2023, the £15million estate sparked a furious row with residents who accused him of 'colonising' their idyllic village.
And after leaving the UK behind, last year Noel purchased a home in the Isle of Man, with plans to spend time both there and in New Zealand.
He told Manx Radio in August: 'I came for the very first time three years ago, and when you consider I lived in the UK all my life and I knew where it was geographically, I don’t know why I didn’t come before.
'I have purchased a property on the island, and I intend to spend some of the year here, but my principal home is New Zealand.'
'What’s drawn me to the Smile of Man… you’re bloody proud of the island, you’re proud of the community, and across the water there [in the UK], you don’t get that anymore,' he added.
While fans are frequently entertained by the telly legend's funny and often eccentric behaviour since he adopted a new way of life.
He has been spotted on multiple occasions wearing completely odd shoes, with seemingly no reason for the bizarre choice of footwear.
In May 2024, stunned fans flooded Facebook after spotting Noel wearing non-matching shoes as he took a trip to the island Laxey Beach Stop Cafe.
He could be seen with a light brown lace-up boot on his right foot and a slip-on dark brown boot on his left, with fans concluding the star must have 'got dressed in the dark'.
However, last year he was once again seen wearing odd shoes as he danced alongside a statue of his doppelgängers, the Bee Gees, on the Isle of Man in June.
Poking fun at his resemblance to the singing siblings, he once again wore different boots on either foot as he danced to Stayin' Alive.
And fans once again rushed to the comments after noticing the Deal Or No Deal star was still sporting the look.
They wrote: '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 2 pairs of those': 'I see that and though na he wouldn’t':
