Noel Edmonds has hit out at a Sun on Sunday story, which claimed he is leaving the UK after being voted off a reality TV show, calling the article “absolutely disgusting lies” in a social media tirade.

Edmonds railed against the article, published on Saturday night, which is headlined: “‘Crushed’ Noel Edmonds plans move to New Zealand after being upset by I’m a Celeb rejection”.

Edmonds (pictured) was the first to exit ITV’s I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! which is based in the Australian jungle.
