Michelle was a sole sister with Her Maj
Noel Edmonds is shock I’m A Celeb late addition
BONDING Moment in 2009 MICHELLE Obama has revealed why she and the Queen had their arms round each other at a G20 summit – they were bonding over their sore feet.
The ex-First Lady said it looked “an epic faux pas” in 2009 when her arm was draped on the Queen’s shoulders and the Queen’s arm was round her waist.
But Mrs Obama said they were at a Buckingham Palace reception when Her Majesty looked down at her black Jimmy Choos and “shook her head”.
They both admitted their feet hurt then the Queen “busted out with a charming laugh”.
She said in her memoir Becoming they were “two tired ladies oppressed by our shoes”, adding: “I did what’s instinctive, express my feelings outwardly.” ITV bosses believe veteran Noel Edmonds will be the “trump card” in the jungle after we revealed him online as a secret 11th campmate.
The former Deal or No Deal host will be paid £500,000 for the privilege of battling over evening meals and avoiding the Bushtucker Trials.
Noel, 69, is to be parachuted in sometime after I’m A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here starts on Sunday. He will use the money to help fund a legal battle with Lloyds bank.
One TV insider said: “ITV was desperate to get Noel. He’s being described as the “trump card” because it wasn’t so long ago that he was the biggest star on British TV.
“Some feel Noel’s a bit Marmite – but one thing is for sure, he’ll be taking this incredibly seriously. Noel does not do things by halves.”
He was quickly made a contender for the jungle crown by bookies. Late addition Vicky Pattison won in 2015.
Three-times married Noel hosted Top of The Pops from 1970, then Multi-Coloured Swap Shop, The Late, Late Breakfast Show and Telly Addicts.
That led to his Saturday prime-time TV INSIDER ON HOW NOEL EDMONDS WILL APPROACH JUNGLE CHALLENGE
He’s sure to be taking this thing seriously... Noel does not do things by halves
smash Noel’s House Party in the 1990s featuring much-loved Mr Blobby.
It was cancelled in 1999 – much to Noel’s disgust – and he spent the next years in the entertainment wilderness.
He told last year how he had been driven to the brink of suicide in 2005 by the collapse of his TV and radio company Unique Group.
He is seeking £60million over claims HBOS, owned by Lloyds, and one of its disgraced ex-managers, deliberately destroyed Unique.
Noel’s TV fortunes revived with the success of Channel 4’s Deal Or No Deal, which ran from 2005 to 2016.
He puts that down to “cosmic ordering”, a spiritualist belief in which written wishes can become reality.
Jungle campmates Rita Simons of EastEnders, The Chase’s Anne Hegerty and Inbetweeners’ Emily Atack all landed in Brisbane yesterday.
They will be joined by Corrie’s Sair Khan, Vamps’ James McVey, Doctor Who’s John Barrowman, DIY SOS’ Nick Knowles, Hollyoaks’ Malique Thompson-Dwyer, X Factor’s Fleur East and football’s Harry Redknapp.
