Noel Edmonds calls his private parts ‘Mr Happy and the twins’ but says he WON’T go naked in the jungle shower
The telly veteran has accidentally revealed the hilarious name he gives his manhood
NOEL Edmonds said he won't free "Mr Happy and the twins" when he takes a jungle shower in I'm A Celebrity.
The 69-year-old Deal or No Deal star accidentally revealed the shocking name for his private parts when quizzed about his fears as he settled in Down Under.
Asked about the famous jungle shower scenes before going into camp, he told the : “They want to look at the young ladies - it's that Myleene Klass moment. No-one will be interested in seeing me in the shower.
“You do wear things in the shower? I don't think ITV's ready for Mr Happy and the twins.”
The TV veteran is set to join I’m A Celebrity today and joked he is only going into the jungle because he is too sexy for Strictly Come Dancing.
But speaking about his other jungle concerns, he insisted he is unfazed by the prospect of eating kangaroo testicles on the ITV show — as long as they’re prepped correctly.
“Empty testicles I’m better with,” he told The Sun Online. “So I hope they’re emptied before. I’ve never seen reference to whether they are or not.”
He also boasts that he’s “good with bugs and spiders” but “slightly claustrophobic”. And, despite being a helicopter pilot, he is scared of heights.
To help him overcome his fears, he has visualised how scenarios might play out then rehearsed them with his wife Liz, 49.
“I have role-played with her,” he says. “She is so protective and she has never seen me lose my rag. I am not that sort of person really.
“I’m actually a people person so I’m genuinely looking forward to meeting everybody. I’m also a team player so I don’t want to let anyone down. I’ll give it my best shot.”
Dad-of-four Noel confirmed that his stint on the show will be his last TV hurrah, as revealed by The Sun last week. But only if viewers vote him King of the Jungle. He has even coined a phrase for his “glorious” exit — Nexit.
“If they do vote me king I will never appear on television again,” he said. “Fifty years on TV is long enough — give us a break for Christ’s sake.
“We’ve got enough problems with Brexit . . . Nexit? Now I’d be very happy to do that deal but on the terms I win the bloody thing.”
Noel, who is getting a £600,000 fee for appearing on the show, is confident of success, bragging: “I’ve had a fantastic relationship with the British public.
“I may be Marmite but there’s a hell of a lot of people that seem to like Noel’s version of Marmite.
“My demographic is actually very broad, because there’s a generation that remembers Swap Shop or even Radio 1 Breakfast Show and then there’s the littlies who would watch Deal or No Deal.
“Judging by the number of things I get asked to do I don’t think the public are sick of me.”
However he is worried his most famous co-host, Mr Blobby, might make a sneaky appearance in a Bushtucker trial. Noel says of his House Party pal: “Well, it’s a sad story — the fame got to him.
“He got a bar in Marbella, and Mrs Blobby left with the kids and he drank the profits.”
Asked if they’ll ever share a screen together again, Noel firmly replies: “Hopefully not.”
He also fears the public might try and get their revenge by voting him into trials — after years of watching him carry out practical jokes on TV.
“I’m sure I’ll have a horrendous time. Look at the pedigree, being honest about this. Gotchas, gunging, silly phonecalls, I deserve it.”

But he cheekily adds: “No one will be interested in seeing me in the shower. I don’t think ITV’s ready for Mr Happy and the twins.”
The most difficult bit for him will be being without Liz, his third wife who he wed in 2009. “It’s the longest Liz and I have ever been apart.
“They took my phone away yesterday.” Noel is hoping to smuggle in a bracelet that reminds him of her, explaining: “It’s got a message from Liz. It just says, ‘I love you’.”
