While Noel previously fumed: "We have certainly learned a lot about people since we started appearing on television, way back in 2012. Some of it has been great but some of it, unfortunately, not so great.

“Our own social media accounts are a nice place to be - but then there's a whole other world which, sadly, isn't quite the same.
“Although I guess we could now class ourselves as experts on internet trolls, we've never met any of them - probably because they spend their lives hiding behind their computers with their fake names!
