Noel Edmonds sends fans wild as he reunites with music icon Cliff Richard 25 years after their friendship began. The former Deal or No Deal presenter was overjoyed to see the singer in Wellington, New Zealand, for his Can't Stop Me Now tour. The 76-year-old broadcaster took to Instagram on Monday (November 17) to share a clip of the pals together, revealing their combined age to their loyal fanbase.

Noel began: "At last I get to see you again after all these years," as Cliff, 85, joked: "I know, it's been too long. I mean, a hundred years separating us, it was unbelievable. No, it was 25 years, I think."

Noel chuckled before clarifying: "It was 25 years ago that you were on my Christmas Day special, and you've done wonderful, kind things for me ever since over the years so I did want to come and say thank you.

"But I then started to do some mathematics - and we have a combined age of 161." Cliff sent the TV host into hysterics after he quipped: "Oh my goodness me, I didn't know that you were older than me!"

It was at this point that the pair broke out into song together, treating Noel's fans to their off-the-cuff rendition of Cliff's chart-topping hit, The Young Ones, with their arms wrapped around their shoulders.

And the We Don't Talk Anymore hitmaker wasted no time in critiquing his friend's vocal range, as he pointed out that he was singing the piece in too low a register, before joking: "He's just pretending to be old".

It didn't take long before fans flooded to the comments to share their surprise at their reunion online, with one user penning: "Lovely to see you both having fun!" as another agreed: "Love this! Two legends."

A third chimed in with: "Awwww, that was sweet. Yet another reminder to us all that the years fly by in the blind of an eye" as a fourth gushed: "Noel never seems to age".

The surprise reunion comes after Noel revealed he would be spending more and more time in the UK after purchasing a home on the Isle of Man. He titled the island, 'The Smile of Man' because "everyone seems so happy" and people "look out for each other".

Meanwhile, ITV axed his Kiki Adventure series, which first aired in June and followed his life in New Zealand with his fifth wife, Liz. Noel, who decided to uproot his life and move to New Zealand in 2018, had reportedly prayed that the three-part series would become a permanent fixture on the channel, but it failed to resonate with viewers.

Elsewhere, Cliff has enjoyed a glittering career spanning nearly seven decades. Throughout his career, the musician, who is affectionately known as the Peter Pan of Pop, has been on the road fairly consistently.

But earlier this year, the hitmaker admitted that he may have to put touring on hold as he gets older. Speaking to the popular New Zealand radio station Coast, he confessed that he can no longer perform many of his famous dance moves on the main stage.

He told listeners: "I don't want to be an 85-year-old guy trying to be 18." When asked if his Can't Stop Me Now tour could be a farewell tour, Cliff replied: "I don't know. I might be dead next year!"
