2nd time I’ve been Chucked!

-

NOEL Edmonds has found himself hounded by Aussies who think he’s martial arts legend Chuck Norris.

The Deal Or No Deal host revealed he has been stopped repeatedly for autographs while out with his family since his early Jungle exit.

His pleasure at being recognised has turned to disappoint­ment on discoverin­g that they actually think he’s another bearded celeb – US cult hero Chuck.

His wife Liz and son Harrison think the case of mistaken identity is “hilarious”.

Liz chuckled: “They all keep saying ‘we’ve got all of the Chuck Norris movies’.”

The Noel’s House Party legend is “flattered” by the comparison – despite Chuck, at 78, being nine years older.

Black belt Chuck won a host of fighting contests before starring in a series of martial arts flicks,

including some with Bruce Lee. He also became an internet star when “Chuck Norris facts” went viral.
