Noel Edmonds, 76, reveals the weird and wacky secrets to his surprisingly ripped physique - from 'tranquil power training' to an alkaline diet and using a 'cancer-tackling' yoga mat
Noel Edmonds has sent fans into a frenzy after showcasing his surprisingly ripped physique.
The Deal Or No Deal presenter, 76, looked incredible as he showcased his muscular torso in a pair of blue patterned swimming trunks after being named Torso Of The Week by Heat magazine.
And the TV star has revealed the key to his secret health regime which he calls 'Tranquil Power'.
Taking to Instagram after receiving Torso Of The Week, Noel joked with followers: 'So many of you have asked how do I get the body of a 76 year old?
'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.
The TV star revealed the key to his secret health regime which he calls 'Tranquil Power' where you hold the weight and feel the muscle burn then let go (pictured on I'm A Celeb in 2018)
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, infra red. It's proven science and very good for you.'
Fans went wild for Noel's impressive physique as they exclaimed: 'Great physique, and fabulous hair. Could easily pass for 55';
'Looking strong'; 'Looking really good, fit and healthy'; 'You've not aged in all these years, infact if anything your looking absolutely amazingly fit!!';
'You do look incredible for your age just goes to show lifting weights does make a huge difference to your life'.
Noel is also enjoying more of an outdoor lifestyle after he and his wife Liz quit the UK in 2018 to build a new life in New Zealand.
The couple 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.

Fans went wild for Noel's impressive physique as they exclaimed: 'Great physique, and fabulous hair. Could easily pass for 55'
And in his upcoming reality show Noel Edmonds' Kiwi Adventure, set to launch on June 20, follows the couple as they start their life from scratch 11,500 miles away.
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 electro-magnetic mat for 15 minutes a day, which he claims helped cure his cancer.
Back in 2016 Noel sparked controversy after he revealed that he had been diagnosed with prostate cancer and that he had 'tackled' it with his the very upmarket yoga mat.
The star alleged that he had used the EMPpad, a machine which aims to stimulate 'cellular resonance' in the body, as part of a regime to cure himself from cancer that he said was caused by stress.
Speaking about his experience in an interview on This Morning, Noel infuriated host Phillip Schofield, and the show's doctor, Dr Ranj Singh, who said that there is no evidence that a machine can harness the effects of positive energy.
Other experts have also disputed his claims.
Noel said: 'The point here is that when I found out I had prostate cancer, I went out there and started to ask as many questions as possible.
'I changed my diet, I exercised in a different way... I then had my tumour destroyed by sound waves, proving yet again energy is at the heart of this issue.'
He continued: 'I was, I thought, very, very healthy. I know why I got my cancer: because I had gone through a very stressful, very negative period in my life.'
Phillip asked: 'The stress in your life gave you prostate cancer?'
He replied: 'Yes, because the definition of stress is negative energy. It didn't just decide to manifest itself, there was cause.
'You have cancer in you, we all have it. Something triggers it, I don't believe what you say or think triggers it, but outside forces trigger it... All I want to encourage is get the information.'
Phillip gave a statement from the makers of the EMPpad, which said they did 'not agree with it (Mr Edmonds' statement) in any way, shape or form'.
He replied: 'Fine, all I'm saying is, by using pulsed electromagnetism and a series of other things, I am now free of prostate cancer.'
Noel added that after using the mat: 'I could see my hair was thicker, my nails were stronger, the exercise I was doing in the gym was easier and less painful.'
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.
Noel has also struggled with his mental health in the past after he confessed he tried to kill himself in January 2005.
The presenter was discovered in woodland on his estate in Devon after taking handfuls of prescription pills washed down by a bottle of vodka.
The TV host even recorded heartbreaking goodbye messages for his four daughters and in an interview with ITV in 2017 he confessed: 'My world imploded. And I lost my home. I went to a very dark space.
'The only way I can describe it is it is the darkest space that the human mind ever occupies.
'I wrote a letter to my now ex-wife explaining as best I could why I'd reached the end, and I recorded little dictaphone messages to my daughters, basically saying goodbye.'
He said: 'The fact that I did not become another suicide statistic is solely due to the swift response of a Devon ambulance crew and the compassionate support of the Priory in Bristol.'
Noel 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 its 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.

First football, now Fifa wants to be a global fashion brand
F orget this season's kit, with your favourite player's number on the back and a sponsor's logo splashed across the front; Fifa is heading for Paris Fashion Week. Yes, the tastemakers of, erm, football's governing body are behind a new clothing line. FIFA 1904, so named for the year Fifa was founded, celebrates the heritage of an organisation with its own Netflix documentary — although that focused more on the 24-year run of corruption in the organisation that ended in whistleblowing and FBI arrests. FIFA 1904 is being designed by the ex-Fenty design director Marcus Clayton and will be shown during Paris's menswear shows this month. The nexus between fashion and football is expanding and these days the world's biggest stars parlay their international profiles into lucrative sponsorship deals with fashion houses, including David Beckham modelling undies on billboards for Hugo Boss and Emporio Armani, Spain's Héctor Bellerin on the Louis Vuitton catwalk and America's Megan Rapinoe for Loewe. Last September, Arsenal's Declan Rice walked the Labrum catwalk during London Fashion Week at the Emirates Stadium, where Rice usually plays as a midfielder.

How to divorce-proof your summer
Yes, yes, isn't it lovely. The sun belting down. All that. But unofficially we're all aware that a hot British summer, an actual 'it's going to hit 30C' summer that doesn't start on a Monday and stop on a Thursday, places strain on the average marriage on a par with those other legendary stress points, Christmas and moving house. Only, the difference with summer marital stress is that it's never acknowledged because there can be no downside to summer in a country that doesn't get much sun. Although now that that looks like it's a thing of the past, there's all the more reason we should get divorce-proofing summer asap. Let's start with the obvious stress points to be aware of: In films, hot summer nights are hot in every sense. IRL they are the stifling, sleep-depriving No 1 enemy of marital harmony. They make you regret everything from the position of your bedroom (south-facing on a main road) to all your life choices (much later on in the night), including your choice of life partner. The fact is you will have talked about your infernally hot bedroom the last time you were lying awake with wet flannels on your faces. At that point there was a plan in place to solve the problem for ever (ceiling fan plus Dyson) and then it cooled down suddenly and, unbeknown to us, the funds were allocated to a bigger TV. What women feel in these circs is that we are sharing a bed in a hellhole with someone who doesn't care and is unreliable. See how this can go? • Read more expert advice on sex, relationships, dating and love We're fine on holiday when we can wear the floaty thing and flip-flops and sit on a veranda, but we're living our normal lives in this oven. It's harder to juggle work and motherhood and public transport and parent care in a hot summer, and if you want to maintain your dignity it involves twice as much effort and financial outlay. Being a woman in the heat means endless expenditure (hair removal! Pedicures!) and rinsing out and crisping up and rotating heat-appropriate footwear. It means a gulf of envy opening up between the women who drift around looking at ease with a smooth ponytail and a dry upper lip and the rest of us, who look as if we're sitting on a smelter. And the point is women in this state feel under pressure (bloody everyone is on Mounjaro! Gwyneth Paltrow is cooking topless in boxer shorts! Sixtysomething women are wearing bikinis!), defensive and disappointed in their lot. Tinderbox. High summer comes with expectations and memories of the time when you pottered around in a string bikini, eating figs, and your husband was forever whisking you off for a largely bed and a bit of beach summer hol. Now if you go on a holiday (and you may not; see gardening, below) it must involve a bicycle with a very narrow seat; a battlefield tour (Waterloo?); some serious hiking to somewhere of cultural significance; padel in the heat of the day; or learning how to make polenta. This leaves us feeling old and heifery (we agreed to it but whatever) and mourning our lost youth and all the lie-ins and attention we used to get. • The new summer holiday etiquette Will basically be in their element (very annoying). • They get ultra cooking ambitious (should be welcome but not really because it always involves a last-minute frenzied drive around in search of black garlic and preserved lemons). • They get the barbecue out (too many frustrations to list, culminating in always lighting it too early or too late, and most importantly not being able to contribute anything else because they are 'watching the barbecue'). More work for us. • They get experimental fun times in the clothes department, which means anything from Brad Pittish louche combinations (seersucker jacket, yellow trousers) to Brian Wilson tribute outfits (big shorts, Hawaiian shirt) or maybe a towelling polo shirt and some off-white jeans. Either way (see 'women feel like heifers', above) it feels passive-aggressive. They often spend money you might have spent on your wedding dress on a pair of sunglasses. • They get David Beckham fiefdom ideas. Maybe not the beekeeping, maybe not the roses of kings, but they may fancy a pizza oven and growing vegetables and … now they are serious gardeners and that's what's happening in any spare moment. Used to be 'Sorry, got to sort out this work thing'; now it's 'Sorry, need to do something in the garden'. • They go entertainment crazy and are constantly suggesting the Whatsits come over for an alfresco supper for which they will rustle up several 100 per cent home-grown courses (apart from the cheese, but never say never). Again, should be great news for their partners but feels undermining since all anyone now talks about is his green fingers and cooking and how nice he has made everything look. And it's not just us: Posh is dealing with David's summer garden boy phase, and note, she doesn't have time for fannying around thinning the lettuces either. • They are never off the mower. It's like a man cave but mobile, and they have ear defenders so … • … they get a birdsong app. Lovely. But you never hear the end of it. They may stop you in mid-sentence when you're explaining the emergency with your mother's carer and say: 'Sssh … goldfinch.' Bottom line: your needs are no longer being met because it's all about summer. • How to get divorced: can anyone even afford to split up any more? • Drinking at lunch. We used to be good at this; now it means we have to sleep all afternoon and most of the next day, and in between we may feel in the mood for a fight. • Too much exposure to Mr and Mrs Mounjaro.• Missing a highlighting appointment (in the mistaken belief that it's summer and it will take care of itself).• Trying on a bikini if have not worn a bikini since before lockdown. • Letting it be known that you have no interest in going anywhere now that the garden (veg) is in full flight.• Suddenly taking an interest in cooking (after all these years of saying you were only a scrambled eggs man) and taking over.• Wearing sandals but not bothering to sort out your feet.• Refusing to wear suncream and burning. Applying suncream carelessly to wife so that she burns.• Being extremely complimentary about your neighbour Susie's new 'shape'.• Falling in love with the mower, barbecue, vegetable patch, birds, bird.

Director Danny Boyle on how 28 Years Later could be seen as an allegory for Brexit
Director Danny Boyle has said his latest film 28 Years Later could be seen as an allegory for Brexit. Boyle's original zombie horror, 28 Days Later, was a groundbreaking film which revitalised the genre. Now, his follow-up 28 Years Later gives an insight into how much of humanity is still standing almost three decades after the deadly Rage virus took hold. "It's a very ambitious picture of what's happened to the British mainland 28 years after the original infection," he tells Sky News. The film shows how mainland Europe has cut Britain off, the country is isolated, with the remaining population left to fend for itself, which Boyle says could be seen as an allegory for Brexit or the pandemic. "There is an element of that… horror is a wonderful genre because you can put transparencies against it, you can put COVID against it… you can put Brexit against it as well, and you read things into it like that and it's deliciously flexible," he says. Central to this new story is a new character, a young boy called Spike, played by newcomer Alfie Williams, whose character has been raised on a remote coastal Island with Jodie Comer starring as his mum. "To get to see how Danny and his team work on set and then see the final product, it's been a dream," Comer says. Fans won't have to wait quite so long for the follow-up to this, with a triptych of films planned this time around. While the second has already been shot and is due out next January, the really scary thing for Boyle currently is securing the financing to make the last instalment. "We're hoping we do well enough to get the third film financed... we want there to be three films ultimately," he says. 'A wonderful tribute' to Sycamore Gap Boyle's film also features a digital recreation of the Sycamore Gap tree, which the director says he hopes will be "a wonderful tribute" to Northumberland's iconic tree. Eagle-eyed viewers will spot the tree is still standing in scenes for Boyle's apocalyptic horror despite being felled in September 2023. Boyle explains: "It had already been destroyed by the time we came to film, so we recreated it for the same reasons that you see the Queen in this… all the things that have happened to us in the last 28 years have not happened." As well as forming a part of people's personal lives, as the scene of wedding proposals, ashes being scattered and countless photographs, it had already held a place in pop culture, featuring in the 1991 Kevin Costner film Robin Hood: Prince Of Thieves. It is a blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment in the film, but Boyle said given how much of what they shot is filmed in the beautiful Northumbria countryside, to resurrect "one of their most beautiful icons" was a "real privilege which we felt we couldn't ignore". "So we've recreated it deliberately to say that it was still growing… which is a wonderful tribute," he adds. 28 Years Later is out on 20 June.
