Noel Edmonds has revealed there is a very weird quirk in his New Zealand home, where all his clocks are stopped at 11.06.

But it’s no mistake, and instead a very sweet tribute to his wife of 16 years.

Speaking in his new show Noel Edmonds’ Kiwi Adventure, the presenter, 76, revealed 11.06 is actually the time he met his wife Liz Davies, 55.

The pair were first introduced in 2006 when she was his make up artist on Deal Or No Deal and they tied the knot three years later.

‘Generally speaking, when you round here, see a clock at six minutes past 11, it’s not broken,’ Noel said.

‘That was the time on the sixth of October, 2006, yep, when my earth angel arrived and introduced herself.’

Despite having two unsuccessful marriages in the past, and Noel vowing never to marry again, the television personality shared that he sensed Liz’s compelling energy even before they met. 

Gushing about Liz, Noel said: ‘Liz was sent to me. She is an earth angel, which I know some people will fall about laughing. 

‘I sensed her presence in the room before I even turned around. I looked at her and thought, Oh, thank goodness, there you are, the essence of her energy is my lifeblood. It truly is.

‘You will never, ever pull us apart, because we are one. To find that in your life is a gift.

‘I believe it’s a gift from the cosmos. It was an unforgettable moment. So the clocks are there, the time of my life.’

In response to her husband’s kind words, Liz joked: ‘I thought someone has got to look after him. Doing my little bit of care in the community.’ 

ITV dropped a first look at Noel’s new life abroad last week after he quit the UK and was replaced on Deal Or No Deal. 

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. 

‘Generally speaking, when you round here, see a clock at six minutes past 11, it’s not broken,’ Noel said

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.

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.
