Now there's talk that the partnership could become more official when they leave I'm A Celebrity.

A TV insider told us: "Noel's friendship with Harry has been a highlight of the series and it hasn't gone unnoticed by TV bosses.

"They're talking about a programme being built around them as a duo. Although Noel has said he plans to quit TV if he wins, you can really see he's quite enjoying his experience in there.

"They want it to be like a real-life version of The Trip's Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon.

"Noel and Harry could travel around the country together, discovering new things; it would be a fantastic programme to watch.

"It'd be like When Harry Met Noel, it's a winner."

TV legend Noel has been a near-constant presence on the box for five decades.

His TV hits include Top of the Pops, Multi-Coloured Swap Shop, Noel’s House Party and Deal or No Deal.

But his huge popularity on I'm A Celeb could mean it's not the last we'll see of the 69-year-old.

A friend close to Noel said: "It's no coincidence that figures have been booming this series after Noel's arrival.

"He would really be up for doing a show when he gets out, whether he wins or loses.

"You can see Noel is remembering that he wasn't bad at doing telly. He's having fun and enjoying the adventure.

"I don't think he expected to meet people who he would genuinely become close to.

"Noel was always a huge football fan and grew up supporting Harry when he played for West Ham."

The former Deal or No Deal presenter has been entertaining viewers with his quick wit and enthusiasm in the jungle.

Last night he rivalled storyteller Harry when he revealed he bought a black cab so he could drive in the bus lane.

All the campmates couldn't believe their ears when Noel went on to add that when the council clocked what he was doing they set up a camera - so he bought a bus instead.

He has also fascinated viewers with his impressive physique at the age of 69.

The Sun revealed he has a strict health regime to keep him looking young revealed including electromagnetic pulse therapy, ban on red meat and exercising in the dark.

Noel also drinks five litres of water a day and puts manuka honey in his tea and coffee.
