Retired game show host Noel Edmonds is set to make his return to TV and has reportedly signed a £1million deal with ITV, eight years after Deal or No Deal was scrapped
The former game show host, 75, is set to present a new reality show based on his estate in New Zealand and is reportedly hoping to emulate the success of Jeremy Clarkson with Clarkson's Farm. Sources have claimed that Noel has signed a £1million deal with ITV after a "frenzied" ten-month bidding war.

A TV insider told The Mirror at the time: " Deal Or No Deal doesn't get the ratings it used to and it is not a cheap daytime show to make. Noel and 'Deal' had a great run but bosses have just decided it is the right time to end the series.
"There are things in his contract linked to ratings and advertising but he could earn anything up to £10million in the next few years from this deal. It's not a day for him to feel sad." Noel went on to host Sky One's quiz show Are You Smarter than a 10 Year Old? and live entertainment show Noel's HQ in 2008.
His £15million estate also features a pub, which he has called The B*gger Inn. The small contained village around the estate is home to just 2,500 people who appreciate its scenery - but Noel has been accused of 'taking over'.
