Addressing Noel’s absence, Tom said:
As you know, Christmas is all about a child being born and Noel has just become a father again, so I am here in his place.
Noel was unable to appear on The Great British Baking Show: Holidays episode 1 because his wife was expecting their second baby.
He has a long-term partner named Lliana Bird, with whom he has two children, Dali and Iggy. Dali was born in 2018, while she welcomed Iggy in 2020.
Meanwhile, many fans wonder if Noel is gay, but that is definitely not the case!
