How tall is Noel Edmonds

Sandy Cowell said on 20/Mar/23
Certainly when I saw Noel at a Radio One Roadshow beck on the 16th August, 1976, and stood bang next to him, he didn’t look below 5ft7.5. I was wearing massive platform shoes, yet he was still taller than me. Perhaps he wore some too, as was the fashion in the 70s! 😄📻

🎁🎂🎉 Happy Birthday Noel! 🎉🎂🎁

A Very Happy 74th Birthday to Noel Edmonds.

5ft7.5. 🎄 XXX 🎄

Miss Sandy Cowell said on 19/Apr/22
When I was a kid, Noel had a funny slot on his morning breakfast show called ‘Misheard Lyrics’, in which people would write in with their funny ideas of what they thought they’d heard.

I was only 12 and 13 at the time, and it took a few years for some of them to sink in as actually rude. One which Noel found particularly funny was that someone thought “You and me and Lesley….” which should have been “You and me endlessly….”

I didn’t know what a threesome was and said, “What’s so hilarious about that?”

Noel never wavered from having a cheeky side to him, and I just wish he’d won ‘I’m A Celebrity….’ the other year, like his mate and fellow DJ, Tony Blackburn, 5ft8.

He’s always been one to jest about his height, but he isn’t THAT small at all!

5ft7.5.

Once again they're showing old 'Deal Or No Deal' episodes on the Challenge channel, and the ones currently on are Christmassy ones! 🎄 I can't resist the odd reminder that Christmas is never far away, except when you're a child!

Noel, himself a Christmas baby, gets 5ft7.25. 🎅

Miss Sandy Cowell said on 22/Dec/20
@ Nik - I don't remember how much the girl won.

In the days when Noel was a Radio One DJ, there were much smaller DJs. Nicky Horne was 5ft3 and known as 'Little Nicky Horne'. He did the heavy rock show 'Your Mother Wouldn't Like It', and I never missed it. Actually my Mum DID like it! Then there was 'Diddy David Hamilton', who was around 5ft5-6, and he went out with a Page Three Girl, so his height didn't do him any harm! 😉

When I saw Noel, at 15 and-a-half, I was wearing platform shoes with 4+" heels, and he didn't look short to me. I never got round to checking his heels though....

Cheers Nik and the same to your Mum!

@ Sandy Cowell - I agree, he is barely short and you can legitimately argue that he ain’t short at all.

It’s wonderful that he has sometimes brought up the topic of height on 'Deal or No Deal' and I would love to see these episodes, I also think that new episodes of this classic game should be produced as soon as possible. It could be based in Bristol again but I would love to see it played in studios in London, Leeds, Birmingham, Manchester, Liverpool, Glasgow, and several other major places too.

If Nick’s (Nick the Prick) name was spelt like mine then he would be called Nik the Prik!

How much did this girl win?

Paul Wood said on 30/Apr/20
I agree he's 5ft 7in or 5ft 7in and change so he's 'normal' short rather than being of short stature, which is below 5ft 5in for a man (the 5th percentile).

Miss Sandy Cowell said on 19/Mar/20
This week in the early hours of the morning, Challenge have been showing 'Deal or No Deal' games from 2005. 2006 has just started and the Christmas tree has gone, so 👅 to that!

I remember those games as well. At the moment, there's a guy called Nick playing. I call him Nick the Prick because he keeps saying 'wiv', which is one of my pet hates! He's appearance conscious and has his hair well coiffed but as soon as he started speaking, I didn't give a 💩 what he looked like or how tall he was!

There was a girl on Deal from my neck of the woods and she asked me the way to the railway pub one evening, before she was on the show. I was only too happy to point her in the right direction; it's the pub where I had fun wiv my fake turd!

💩🤚"Howdy ho!"🍺

She was taller than me, but not as tall as Noel. I don't know why people accuse him of being small at all. He isn't, and I should know! I stood just feet away from him after a Radio One Road Show on the 16th August, 1976, but I failed to get his autograph because everyone was pushing and shoving and any signature hunters were out of luck that day - shame!

Today, I've decided to up him a bit. Noel can have 5ft7.5. He often makes comments when people are particularly small or tall, I've noticed, but the games showing on Challenge are from when the series was in its infancy. Oh dear, N the P has been the first contestant to win a penny! 😔📍

The term 'The 1p Club' hadn't been coined yet, pardon the pun!

greg99 said on 17/Jan/20
This looks an accurate height, I see him listed at 5'8" in lots of places but I don't think that's accurate. Dude either spends a lot of money on his appearance or simply has good genes because for a guy in his early 70's he looks very good for his age.

Miss Sandy Cowell said on 22/Dec/19
🎅🎁🎂🎈 Happy Birthday Noel!🎈🎂🎁🎅

Ho ho hum -
Noel celebrates number 71!
Born so near to festive cheer
Mum called him a name that rubbed off the whole year!

Many happy returns to Noel Edmonds!

5ft7.5. 😀👍🍻🎉⛄

I still think 5'7 is the max Noel could have been

Go look at some Youtube clips with Tony Blackburn. They are very similar in height.

5'8" is still pretty average! It's great to give 70 year old Noel Edmonds his 70th comment!

Nik said on 21/Oct/19
@ Sandy Cowell - 😂😂😂

It's funny that he sent someone out onto the streets of Bristol for breaking wind! I wonder what the banker said?

I would love to see a photograph of Noel Edmonds and my good self!

Miss Sandy Cowell said on 23/Apr/19
Ha ha ha! I was just going to start this comment the very same way as I did my last one! Ahem! Let me just clear my throat...

That's better!

I just turned on my telly at 4.3O in the morning and found this little gnome-like fellow on my TV screen! Yes, it was Mr Noel Edmonds, and he's taking charge of 'Dead or No Deal'. He makes that show. Do you remember when he sent someone out into the street for breaking wind? Now that was FUNNY! 😂😂😂

5ft7.25.

Sandy Cowell said on 2/Jan/19
I just turned my telly on at half past four in the morning to see Noel swept clean off his feet - by an excited and burly 'Deal or No Deal' contestant called Mally!

He has just won £54,000! If I won that, I think I might be tempted to do the very same thing!

Today, Noel gets 5ft7.25.

Sandy Cowell said on 22/Dec/18
@ Rick1 - I, too, have obviously found some positively STUPID results on Google, and I think that 6ft for a 5ft8 or so guy (Patrick Mower) is probably the daftest of the lot! No way was Patrick even that in his prime; he starred in 'The Devil Rides Out', from 1968, and he was completely towered by Christopher Lee and Charles Gray.

Having stood just feet away from Noel, I always believed that his jokes about his height were more out of humour than actual reality, because he isn't THAT small at all!

Sandy Cowell said on 22/Dec/18
🎂🎁 Happy Birthday Noel! 🎁🎂

Many Happy Returns of the Day on this huge Birthday - your Big 7-0!

Have a great day, a fantastic Christmas and a healthy and successful year ahead!🎄🎅🗓️🔮

Rick1 said on 6/Dec/18
Thank you Sandy for the kind words, i do find it most annoying; especially as this site overall is usually a lot more accurate on average than a google search (which is sometimes almost laughable) i do find that some listings can be skewered especially ones like this that have been on here for quite sometime. He'd probably be a smidgen under Rob if they ever stood together. I personally have no problem with Noel and yes i remember he used to wear heels in the old days, and sometimes on Deal or No Deal especially in earlier episodes but in the jungle everyone footwear is practically the same which is why i was surprised myself as id picture him to be a little bit shorter that he came across. I dont believe he has lost much height either or it would be minimal - i think sometimes that is almost exaggerated on here sometimes and of course some people are naturally more prone to losing height than others- for example Clinton appears to of lost nearly 2 inches by the same age; Noel has never had any medical problems or operations and has always been in superb shape - I hope i look that good at 70!!

Sandy Cowell said on 5/Dec/18
@ Rick1 - Well said! He looks too fit and well to have lost much height and way back in '76, I stood feet away from him in 4" wedges, making me 5ft6.5 and he was quite a bit taller than me. Mind you, back then, he might have had heels on himself, as was the fashion. He sure had the long hair!

I have never disliked Noel and enjoy everything he's ever done. Back to his Radio One breakfast show days, on April Fool's Day, he pretended to be broadcasting from a plane, flying over London and the suburbs, and I fell for it! I think I was 12 or 13.

Cheers Rick and good on you for standing Noel's ground. 😊👍

Why do people lowball Noel because they don’t like him?

Well I for one like Noel, so that counters your argument Rick

He's shorter than 5'8 listed James Corden, even with his stack heels

He's also shorter than 5'8 listed Ant.

Kevin Keegan was on one of Noel's shows in the 90's, and joked that he wanted to be a Goalkeeper, but only grew an inch taller than Noel. Kevin's listed 5'7 on here

I also thought there was not much difference in Noel's footwear and Holly's at eviction- Only my opinion of course, but I think 5'7 is the max he could be.(or was seeing as he turns 70 in the next few weeks)

Nik said on 5/Dec/18
@ Sandy Cowell - I know, eating horrible things is a whole different ball game to actually sticking them in your mouth (gob, trap, cake 'ole, etc!)!

Rick1 said on 4/Dec/18
@parker holly was wearing boots which probably give a couple of inches - also since my last comment I saw some old Deal or No Deal videos and one featured the impressionist Jon Culshaw pretending to be him & Noel walks up right next to him and Noel appears taller & Culshaw is listed on here as 171.... Hmm. Why do people lowball Noel because they don’t like him? I’ve seen it before on here with other controversial characters. I honestly think his minimum even today would be 172cm , most likely 173 so I think this needs an upgrade

Parker said on 3/Dec/18
On his eviction Noel looked approx 1 inch taller than Dec but shorter than Holly. I did have the clip but the site was down for comments

I reckon Noel is a Kevin Keegan height twin - 5'6.5

Sandy Cowell said on 3/Dec/18
I couldn't believe that Noel was the first to be voted off. When he poured that green ant smoothie down his beard I was in absolute hysterics! If people thought that was a reason not to vote for him, that's ridiculous! The whole thing's for fun anyway and though I agree that he shouldn't have had the point, or 'star', it still made for excellent TV - and that's what it's all about!

I wrote a comment on the 'I'm A Celebrity....' Website to that effect. He was my favourite out of 'The Boys'!
😁👍
He was described as 'so little' by the 5ft6 Emily Atack, and he did look small, but not miniscule.

Sandy Cowell said on 28/Nov/18
@ Nik - I'd much sooner stick a large spidery thing in my mouth than eat a sheep's brain and fish eye juice!

Nik said on 26/Nov/18
@ Sandy Cowell - Also he had to stick a spider in his mouth (gob!) for about a minute, didn't he? 🕷!

Yes, the things that Noel and 'arry had to do!

I like it that he commented on his height on Twitter by saying "I'm 5'8" av height in er, er....Snow Whites house"!

Sandy Cowell said on 24/Nov/18
Tonight's Bushtucker Trial was about as revolting as they can get, with each task getting increasingly worse! Among the delights poor Noel and Harry had to accomplish was that each had to eat a sheep's brain scooped straight from the skull and the finale was to pop loads of fish eyes in their mouths and spit the fluid out into a glass until it reached a certain marked level. The liquid was red and looked like thick, curdling blood. Then they had to drink it down! Screw that! I'd rather starve!
👅
👁️‍🗨️

It was vile in the extreme and I felt completely and utterly celebrisick!

Sandy Cowell said on 24/Nov/18
@ Parker - Thanks for that! That means that Noel looks even better for his age! No seriously, isn't just ridiculously fit for a man of nearly 70? AND he's as funny as ever he was!

Parker said on 23/Nov/18
Noel looks remarkably fit for a man coming up to 68

He was born in 1948 Sandy, he will be 70 on 22nd December.

I am settling for 5ft7.5!

I can see Emperor Noel is already making his mark in the jungle camp. He isn't to be underestimated on the intelligence front you know! He has 10 'O' levels, and those exams were marked on the papers alone. Classwork didn't contribute those days. If you revised the wrong stuff during the preparation weeks, you knew about it! 😱

Noel looks remarkably fit for a man coming up to 68, and I don't say that lightly! Therefore, I doubt he's lost much at all from his peak height.

Rick1 said on 22/Nov/18
Thought he held up well against 5’11 Redknapp - Noel is 173cm

Sandy Cowell said on 21/Nov/18
Aha! He's coming tomorrow! 😏😸😯👋

Sandy Cowell said on 21/Nov/18
This should be fun! We have Noel Edmonds joining the celebrity jungle tonight! 🎧😁👍

I'm expecting him to provide a great deal of fun! It'll be worthwhile to compare him to a few of the others before deciding which height to choose for him, so until then, I'm leaving the box open....

Back later! Byeee! 👋

Jez said on 17/Oct/17
Met him at the Grosvenor Hotel I think more like 5 ft 6 at a stretch.

Sandy Cowell said on 21/Sep/17
@ MSJC - Hi! How are you doing? Well, I hope!

No, I didn't catch Noel's latest show even once, and that's a first! I've watched everything he's done since his 'Multi Coloured Swap Shop', which was his morning extravaganza which started in September of '76, just after I had seen him as a youngster at Weston-Super-Mare doing his Radio One Roadshow. It was his first slot on TV, apart from 'Top of the Pops'.

Before 'Swap Shop' came his Breakfast Show, which was humerous, different and very quirky, just as you'd expect from him!

Cheers for now!

Enjoy your weekend! 😊

Noel can have 5ft7 tonight!

MSJC said on 18/Sep/17
@Sandy - Did you see that new gameshow he did recently? Very odd it was to, i didn't care much for it.

Sandy Cowell said on 18/Oct/16
It's good to see the return of Noel's cheesy show 'Deal or No Deal?' His sense of humour has always appealed to me since I was a kid and listening to his Radio 1 Breakfast Show.

In fact, I stood feet away from him in the August of 1976 and I didn't think he was at all short, but then I wasn't fully grown yet and people - guys included - were very much in the habit of wearing platforms those days! I liked them because, unlike build-up shoes, they were unpretentious and a cracking fashion statement!

I do get the impression that 5ft7 is right for Noel, as quite often, the contestant's height is mentioned on Deal and then with Noel standing alongside for the best of an hour, you can put two and two together!

Nik said on 17/Oct/16
Seems a very good guess. I would say 169 - 171 cm.

Nik said on 11/Oct/16
Very surprised he is this height because for some reason I always thought he was much taller and thought I had seen in the Internet that he was over 6 foot. To be truthful though I don't think this height is that bad and I reckon there's quite a few more men that are this height than 6 foot..

Average Height person said on 6/Feb/16
His shoes on Deal or no deal are very strange curled up edges like a witches shoe lel. It has a very high heel and clearly lifts inside. I mean i wear elevator shoes sometimes at specail events at max to go from my hieght 5 foot 10.5 to 6 foot 2 for a laugh but this guy is obsessed with lifts!

brianstein said on 3/Dec/15
I saw funky Noel in Bath last year and I am not a big guy at 5'8 and the first thing I noticed was how small he was. He walked past me from a few metres away and he seemed physically smaller than me, I would say hes 5'6 at the max. Maybe his small frame makes him look smaller but yeah he looked noticeably smaller than myself, minus my 5 inch streetwalkers.

188cm said on 2/Sep/15

I reckon 5'4 he wears custom made shoes with a 2inch heals and I bet there's another 1inch instep inside. ..... His shoes always looked turned up like Persian slippers , weird !

Parker said on 9/Jan/15
Once claimed he was 5'9 in his stack heels in the 70's. 5'6-5'7 barefoot IMO.

Is the 5 foot 7 inches include his built up boots & 3 inches of hair?

With self claimed 5'2/5'3 Dudley Moore on Noel's House Party. Does look 3-4 inches taller although its difficult to judge accurately

LongTimeViewer said on 12/Dec/13
I think 5'7" would be maximum. He looks very short, more like 5'5" on TV. Edmonds bothers me on Deal Or No Deal, as he constantly introduces off-colour comments, seems to thrive on sexual innuendo, very off-putting... this may be due to his height or to a different shortcoming.

MaskDeMasque said on 17/Jun/13
@stormbringer

When did he ever say he was 6'2?

stormbringer said on 2/Jun/13
I would say Noel Edmunds is 5ft 6ins allthough he has said he is

Bananaman said on 16/Feb/13
Noel flies his helicopter into Exeter Airport, where one of my former colleagues has seen him. My colleague is 5'9ish, but says Noel is very short, and used his hand to indicate as to where he had come up to on him, suggesting he was more like 5'5. Hard to say, when I personally haven't seen him, but 5'7 sounds a tad optimistic.

MaskDeMasque said on 30/Jan/13
Looks 5'7 on DOND.

Shaun said on 3/Oct/12
Hang on LOL, Peter Andre himself is about 5 ft 8, how then did Ant look an inch shorter than him on Im a celebrity a few years back? If Ant's 5 ft 7, Dec is 5 ft 4 and Jordan even shorter. Ant has to be 5 ft 8 range, question is, why did Andre look at least an inch taller than Ant? I specifically remember it and remember thinking that Andre might actually be the 5 ft 9 he claimed. Perhaps his "jungle boots" added an inch?

Shaun said on 3/Oct/12
In all fairness he doesn't look under 5 ft 7 next to Ant who is 5'8" ish and about an inch shorter than Peter Andre but I do wonder how much of it is heels. I think he tends to wear Cuban heels a lot and might be the sort of guy to wear customs. As I say proportionally I always got a 5 ft 6 -5 ft 7 range impression of him and even as a kid I remember that he seemed short.

Shaun said on 10/Sep/12
A newspaper once reported Noel Edmonds was 5 ft 2 I think. The same one that had Tom Cruise and Rod Stewart at 5'5" I think. I remember watching him with Mr.blobby as a kid and I think he's always looked short. I couldn't buy anything over 5 ft 7 for him.

Shaun said on 10/Sep/12
fu says on 20/Jul/11
I'm really surprised to see 5'7" for this guy. He never looks short. It must be his proportions or something, but I would guess at least 5'9" if I didn't check on here. It must be an illusion.

Are we seeing the same guy? He always look short on Deal or No Deal. 5'5"-5'7" I'd have guessed. He could be nearer 5 ft 6.

Parker said on 31/Dec/11
Maybe a tad to short for Noel

Claimed 5'9 in his stack heels in the 70's, so I think this listing is accurate.

He has said 5'8" but I would say he was 5'7.5" 1.71m in his youth and is about 1.70m 5'7" now.

He once did a walking interview along a beach front with Sting (5"11) and he looked only two inches shorter - I believe he's about 5"9!

he must be at least 5' 7 he doesn't look that small on deal or no deal unless he is wearing lifts but i doubt it

George said on 13/Jul/08
I think the way he tucks his shirt into his high waist line trousers makes him look shorter too. A litle like Simon Cowell.

A friend of mine who is 5'6" met him recently and was bigger than him by abbout 3 inches.

looks about 5'9 on 'deal or no deal', i think he wears lifts though

Don't forget the bouffant hairdo he's had since 1972 adds at least two inches to his height! He usually looks like he's wearing lifts as well.

Think 5'7" is about right. Saw him with Slade once, and he was between Dave Hill (5'6") and Noddy Holder (5'8"). The rest of Slade - Don Powell - 6', or very nearly; Jim Lea - 5'10".

lee said on 4/Sep/06
he looks 5ft 4 to me, my mum calls him a dwarf!

Parker said on 18/Jun/06
I remember quite some time ago (in the 70's) Noel interviewing the Osmonds - I remember a quote in the paper referring to him looking quite short, and he said he was 5'9 in his stack heels. So no shorter than 5'7 I think, no taller than 5'8.

Random Person said on 17/Jun/06
I'd say he's a 5'7 but claims to be 5'8 because there isn't much of a difference and he could just about pull it off

I don't know...

Everytime I see this guy,

He looks a little bit smaller WEIRD!!??

he looks small on deal or no deal no more than 5"5 or it could be the angle but he is in his late fifties so he'll be shrinking

On deal or no deal,

He does look around the 5ft 6/7 Mark...
