Noel Fielding to Return to Bake Off

BBG News

According to reports, it seems that Noel Fielding will be back on our screens for the upcoming season of The Great British Bake Off, even though he’s faced some health concerns lately.

The well-known television personality, aged 51, has seldom made public appearances since his sudden departure from the production of his Apple TV series, The Fictitious Exploits of Dick Turpin, which was allegedly prompted by a health-related issue of unspecified nature.

Fans can rest assured since his management claims he will rejoin the cherished Channel 4 program when filming resumes next month, according to The Mirror.

The representative is said to have clarified to the media outlet: ‘Contrary to some speculations, Noel was never excluded from presenting Bake Off. In fact, he’s very much a part of the show’s team.’

TopMob has contacted a representative for Noel for comment.

14 days past, Noel graced the public eye for a seldom occurrence, attending a Kasabian concert at London’s O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire.

With a cheerful demeanor, he unexpectedly joined the stage during the collaborative BRITs Week 25 performance by the indie rock group Blossoms, all for the benefit of War Child.

In a video posted on X, the renowned contestant from The Great British Bake Off is captured shaking hands with Serge Pizzorno, frontman of Kasabian, prior to grabbing the microphone.

Later on, Noel excitedly acknowledged the enthusiastic audience at the event, adding: “The fun has started behind the scenes! I shared a round of Jägermeister Bombs with Prue Leith backstage.

With enthusiasm, the talk show host, sporting a vibrant sweater and his distinctive tight-fitting jeans, leaned in to plant a kiss on Seg’e’s head. After handing back the microphone, he exited the stage.

Earlier this month, Noel was spotted in public for the first time since leaving his TV show.

After spending several weeks at his vacation residence in the south of France, the star has been seen again in North London. He appears to be in high spirits, accompanied by his wife Liliana Bird and a close friend.

The comedian has been spotted in the UK again, as his representatives had shared earlier that he wouldn’t resume filming following the Christmas holiday due to some undisclosed health issue.

During the winter holiday season, it’s thought that Noel jet-setted off to his countryside villa, which is located close to Nice, to celebrate the festivities with his companion and their two little girls.

Instead of returning to London following New Year’s, he chose not to join his colleagues and producers there.

When the cast and crew came back to work in January, they were informed that the project had been cancelled because of ‘a critical actor’s health issue’.

Despite reports stating that the project was forced to halt and expressing worries about Noel’s health, some personnel are reportedly enraged.

Due to the recent upheaval, over 100 individuals who were employed on the Apple TV+ comedy series are reportedly contemplating filing a joint lawsuit against the show’s producers.

According to a source close to the TV industry, it was quite extraordinary for a show to be canceled mid-production. Moreover, there’s an air of uncertainty regarding the circumstances. This unexpected turn of events has made colleagues working with him in other shows rather apprehensive.

Hiding away from the furore, Noel stayed in his home in a small commune close to the Côte d’Azur.

According to reports from last month, the series The Completely Made-Up Adventures of Dick Turpin is expected to reappear on screens, even though it was halted during filming due to concerns about the lead actor’s unexplained health issues.

Following the triumphant completion of the initial series, where he both penned and performed, production on the subsequent series commenced towards the end of the previous year.

However, upon resumption of filming following the Christmas break, everyone was informed that production had been abruptly halted, as the project was terminated three-quarters through the original shooting schedule.

TopMob contacted representatives for Noel Fielding and Apple TV+ for comment at the time.
