Noel Edmunds Gives Everyone A Scare

Deal or No Deal presenter Noel Edmunds has revealed that his right arm has stopped working... a bit. “I am in agony” says Noel, "I didn't know what was wrong so I went to a consultant in Bristol”. The star of Multi-Coloured Swap Shop and Noel’s House Party was told by an orthopedic consultant that he was suffering from 'repetitive strain injury' caused by repeatedly picking up the phone during the show.

Noel whined: "The phone is pretty heavy and I have to pick it up a dozen times a show. We shoot three shows a day and it got so painful that I could hardly pick the bleeding thing up.” Like a front line soldier Noel bravely snorted: "I've had a steroid injection and am picking up the phone in a low kind of underhand arc instead of with a showy overhand way. We have changed one camera angle so it doesn't look too odd." Noel’s reputedly making £3 million a year to pick up phones and laugh at pictures of handicapped children (see here).
