Noel Edmonds’ wife anticipated his ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!’ exit.
The 69-year-old TV legend – who was the last celebrity to enter the Australian jungle – lost out in the public vote on Friday (30.11.18) and was made the first star to leave the camp, and now his wife Liz has said she had "a feeling" he was going to be voted off, but thinks his early exit is "very positive".
Speaking to The Sunday Mirror newspaper, Liz said: "I thought he was going to go, I don’t know why, it’s just a feeling, but I think it will be for the good.
"Lots of people might be sad and angry he’s out but I’m really pleased. There is a reason for everything and usually around Noel those reasons turn out to be very positive.
"Think about it, his audience, all his old fans from Swap Shop probably don’t vote. The cosmos gives you everything for a reason. If this is the decision, then so be it."
Noel was paid a whopping £600,000 to take part in the ITV reality show, but after lasting just nine days before being voted out, his pay equated to £2777 a day.
Liz defended her husband of nine years, saying it isn’t "his fault" his pay was so high.
She added: "People are saying he’s been given a lot for just a few days’ work but that’s not his fault."
And Liz is pleased viewers got to see the Noel that she sees "every day", as she says the ‘Deal or No Deal’ star is a "huge joker" at home.
She said: "At least people have actually seen the Noel that I see every day. He is a huge joker and so much fun.
"I am very proud. People have seen the Noel I know – which sometimes isn’t represented in social media."
