Noel Edmonds Returns to ITV with New Zealand Energy Garden Project

Noel Edmonds is making a notable return to primetime television with the upcoming ITV show 'Noel Edmond's Kiwi Adventure,' which follows his move to New Zealand after a long career in British TV. Alongside his wife Liz, Edmonds purchased land in the rural town of Ngatimoti, where they have developed a hospitality business including a vineyard, coffee cart, general store, and a pub called 'The Bugger Inn,' now entering its second season. The series also highlights Edmonds' ambitious plan to create New Zealand's first energy garden, though he candidly acknowledges the challenges of setting up a business in a new country, including unseasonal weather and feelings of being an outsider. The show features a surprise appearance by his iconic sidekick Mr Blobby, evoking nostalgia from his days hosting 'Noel's House Party.' Comparisons have been drawn between Edmonds' venture and Jeremy Clarkson's profitable 'Clarkson's Farm,' but Edmonds' business is currently not yet profitable. Additionally, Edmonds recently gained attention for dancing beside a statue of the Bee Gees on the Isle of Man while wearing mismatched shoes, demonstrating his enduring playful spirit.
