Noel Edmonds, 76, and wife Liz, 55, prepare to wed for a FIFTH time as he pops the question in a hot tub at their home in New Zealand
The TV personality, 76, and his wife, Liz, 55, relocated in 2019 and own an 800-acre estate, River Haven, which features a restaurant, a vineyard, a pub and a wellness centre.
And since tying the knot for the first time in 2009, Noel and Liz have found themselves saying 'I do' three more times, one of which he cannot remember.
Noel told the Mirror: 'We've been married a lot. First time was a civil ceremony in the Cotswolds. Then we went to our home in France and an Anglican minister I knew came over.
'He was going to bless us but he did the whole thing again. This became a bit of a joke with our friends.
'Oh yeah, we were filming on a cruise ship and the captain married us again. We've done four in all but now we want a Kiwi one.'
In scenes to air on Noel's Kiwi Adventures on ITV, he shares plans for renovations to his home, and fans can also watch his proposal after it was caught on camera.
He said: 'As you can see it is in desperate need of restoration. But my project, starting early next year is to restore it completely and then Liz and I will get married for a fifth time.'
Noel continued to gush over Liz, explaining that the day they met 'changed his life,' and the pair appear excited to get married all over again.
Noel previously revealed he is 'not sure of the way forward' after a flood ravaged his New Zealand estate.
Anatural disaster on New Zealand's South Island has left them unsure of the future after floodwater wrecked their stunning home and business.
The Motueka river burst its banks last week following heavy rain and has flooded Tasman and Marlborough areas.
Noel uploaded a video to YouTube detailing the impact it has had on the local land.
He a cknowledged him, Liz and their team were 'very fortunate' and haven't had any injuries or had their livelihood destructed.
'As you can see it is in desperate need of restoration. But my project, starting early next year is to restore it completely and then Liz and I will get married for a fifth time.'
The former Deal Or No Deal presenter stressed that 'thousands of Kiwis on New Zealand's south island have suffered in this terrible disaster'.
'However, I can't conceal the fact that Liz and I are in a state of shock and at this point we're not quite sure of the way forward,' Noel added.
'You might have seen films of our beautiful vineyard setting in the Moteuka valley, however our river valley, our paradise now looks very different.'
Video footage showed fast-flowing water gushing over the land.
'We've spent the last three years creating a wonderful wellness centre, it was constructed in accordance to all of the local regulations, it was about 50m away from the river bank and some 10m above the normal water level,' Noel explained.
'However this is a quite extraordinary event and our wellness centre has taken the full brunt of the torrent.'
Two of the estate's treatment suites were left 'wrecked' and one was even 'torn from its foundations'.
While the main building is 'covered in a thick layer of silt and mud'.
Noel commented: 'Three years of hard graft destroyed in just a few hours.'
The TV star acknowledged the positivity of the local community and said: 'I'm in total awe of the way in which our Kiwi neighbours have picked themselves up pulled together as a community.
'You know Kiwis always say 'Oh I'll give it a go'. And I saw one interview where some people who had had their home washed away said 'Well we'll come back and we'll rebuild our lives'.'
However, the future still looks uncertain for Noel and his wife as they start to look at their next steps.
'Liz and I are not feeling sorry for ourselves but I have to say, we're not really sure of the way forward and there is one really important factor that is beyond our control,' he explained.
The foundations of the highway were damaged by the flood and restrictions on accessing it could cause issues to local businesses.
'It's fair to say Liz and I now have to review our three year venture and wonder about what the future holds,' Noel said.
This isn't the first time Noel and Liz have had to deal with extreme weather in New Zealand.
The TV star recalled one particular incident to The Sun and recounted how an earthquake 'really shook the house'.
He revealed they have experienced three earthquakes whilst living on the estate.
Noel told the publication: 'During the first one, we were sitting outside with a glass of wine, and I noticed the surface of the wine rippling.
'That was a mild one.
'The biggest one really shook the house — the cutlery drawer rattled, and Liz and I each grabbed a dog and ran outside.'
Fortunately, the incident didn't cause any structural damage to the property.
He added: 'But, yes, earthquakes — and a dormant volcano just up the way. At least, we hope that it's dormant.'
Noel described the weather as having an 'attitude' because of how severe it can get.
He recalled trees falling down in strong winds, 'tropical rain' and landslips.
His new documentary, Noel Edmonds' Kiwi Adventure, hit screens earlier this month on ITV and follows the couple as they navigate life together in New Zealand .
The TV personality and radio presenter 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 Liz to build a new life in New Zealand .
They have now opened a hospitality business in the small rural, riverside town of Ngatimoti.

Celebrity contestant on The Chase says there was one thing he really wasn't expecting
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info Judge Jules revealed that his experience on The Chase Celebrity special was slightly less daunting due to his familiarisation with the Elstree Studios. The renowned DJ appeared alongside other notable personalities, including Lesley Joseph, Jenni Falconer, and Patrick Kielty, on the ITV special. The team faced off against Shaun 'The Dark Destroyer' Wallace in intense rounds, ultimately leading to all four celebrities participating in the final chase. During this round, they successfully outsmarted Wallace, securing a total of £200,000 to be divided among their chosen charities. However, while some might crack under the pressure of the ITV quiz show, 58 year old lawyer and DJ Judge Jules confessed he didn't feel overly anxious. "I'm not nervous in my normal activities, before I go on the decks or anything else related to the music business," he told the Mirror.

The strange thing was, it's filmed in Elstree Studios where EastEnders is filmed, or it was when I did it anyway. My dad (Shaun O'Riordan) worked there his entire working life, so I'd been to those studios multiple times - my dad was a TV director so I think maybe that eased off the pressure a little bit." (Image: ITV) (Image: ITV) (Image: Supplied) Judge Jules' prior visits to the studios, where his father worked as a TV director, may have contributed to his relatively calm demeanour during the show. Jules, all set to command the decks across the UK and Balearics this summer, divulged: "It's fast moving, you meet three others who you've never met before, all of you are there for a common purpose, it's quite comedial backstage but at the same time, it's more the alien environment", reports the Express. He recounted how he adjusted to unfamiliar territory: "When you're experienced in one area and suddenly you're thrust into this alien environment, it makes it more nervous. We earned a chunk of money for charity, which was great. It was £200,00, so it was quite a lot." Catch The Chase every weekday on ITV, kicking off at 5pm.

Cheryl's huge TV comeback will be 'bittersweet' after ex Liam Payne's death
A source says the new role will be 'bittersweet' for Cheryl after the death of her ex, Liam Payne. Cheryl Tweedy has been off the television scene for over half a decade, but her anticipated return to TV is tinged with sadness following the passing of her former partner, Liam Payne. The Newcastle-born songstress, who last graced our screens in a major TV role in 2019, is rumoured to be joining her old friend as a mentor on the upcoming series of The Voice UK. A source speaking exclusively to OK! magazine revealed that despite her illustrious career, this opportunity on the ITV programme could be "the biggest role of her life". "This is really important for Cheryl," the insider divulged. "She realised after Liam's death that you just don't know what's around the corner – life isn't a dress rehearsal. A comeback on a TV show like The Voice has always been at the back of her mind, has always wanted her back and Liam's passing sort of made the decision for her. "She wants Bear to see that she's a strong, successful woman, and to see that life can go on and even be good." Recent reports suggest that the former Girls Aloud member, aged 42 and mother to eight year old Bear, is in discussions to join the next instalment of The Voice UK, set to broadcast early next year. The potential judging panel is said to include Sir Tom Jones, Danny Jones and Tom Fletcher as a duo, along with newcomer Kelly Rowland, reports the Mirror. A source revealed to The Sun that Cheryl was taking "baby steps" in her television career and represented the "obvious choice" to guide team when the reimagined Battle Rounds commence. "Cheryl and first worked together 16 years ago and have remained good friends ever since," the insider revealed. Former One Direction star Liam tragically plunged to his death from a hotel balcony in Buenos Aires during October, at just 31 years old. Following their two-year romance which ended in 2018, Cheryl was granted joint responsibility for overseeing Liam's £24 million estate alongside an entertainment industry solicitor. With several months having elapsed since Liam's tragic passing, our insider suggested Cheryl feels prepared to demonstrate to both the public and herself that she remains a formidable presence. "She's not doing it for the money or for fame, she's had the most incredible career already. It's about proving she's strong and capable after so much heartache, and letting Bear see that too," they explained. "It's probably going to be the biggest challenge she's faced but she's determined to do it – and to do it well." Cheryl's most recent major television appearance was as a dance captain on the BBC's The Greatest Dancer, before taking on a starring role in the West End production 2:22 A Ghost Story during 2023. Public relations specialist Lynn Carratt reckons Cheryl's extensive background positions her perfectly for a successful comeback, though she must be emotionally equipped for renewed public scrutiny. "Let's not forget, Cheryl's whole career has been built around music talent shows," she told new. She won Popstars: The Rivals with Girls Aloud and worked on The X Factor so she's been in the same position as the contestants – they'll really relate to her experience and authenticity in that area. "But she's had so much going on, overcoming the death of Liam, looking after Bear and her stalker hell. This could be a good way of easing herself back into the public eye, after months in the wilderness." The opportunity might prove "bittersweet" for Cheryl, Lynn suggests, given that one of Liam's final television ventures was Netflix's Building The Band, which launches this week on the platform. "It's probably quite nerve-wracking for her too," Lynn continued. "And good that she could be a mentor and not a full-time judge." Liam's passing also occurred merely three years following Cheryl's loss of Girls Aloud colleague Sarah Harding, who passed away just two months before reaching 40 from breast cancer. Beyond the Girls Aloud comeback tour alongside Nadine Coyle, Nicola Roberts and Kimberley Walsh, Cheryl has maintained a deliberately low profile. Lynn observed that Cheryl has consistently remained the most reserved when it comes to public attention and never truly embraced the instant stardom that followed the group's Popstars: The Rivals victory 23 years ago. "She'll turn up and do the Girls Aloud tour and she'll be on TV, but then she'll go away and you might not see her for a long time," she stated. "She's very focused now on being a mum to Bear. He's still young but he's growing up and since Liam's death, she's probably wanted to be there for him a lot more. She's a single parent now – there's no escaping that – so she has to pick her jobs carefully." Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!
