NOEL Edmonds has a life size doll called Candice Cannes who he likes to take everywhere with him.
The quirky 69-year-old is set to enter the I’m A Celebrity jungle this weekend, but will he leave his favourite girl behind?
Candice became part of Noel’s life in 2011 for a rather practical reason but soon became part of the family, rivalling his wife Liz.
She was initially purchased to sit in the back of Noel's black taxi, which he used to drive to the Deal Or No Deal studio in Bristol, to stop people flagging him down.
But it wasn’t long until she became a bit of a hit and even had her own Twitter account and media appearances.
Noel’s wife Liz often changes her hair and clothes, keeping her trendy when she steps out.
She appeared on Chris Evans’ radio show back in the day and was even offered her own perfume line.
In 2013 she released her own dance track called Are You Ready, which samples the Deal Or No Deal soundtrack and went to number four in the dance charts.
The star previously said of her: “We really didn’t expect things would take off like this. We know she’s not real.
“The majority of people who follow her on Twitter know she’s not real. But she seems to have touched a chord because she’s funny.

"Too many people in public life do take themselves too seriously. So many celebrities are so full of themselves and so detached, just look at the fluffy people in Hello! and OK! magazines. They use the internet for marketing purposes and to feed their egos."
Liz commented: “I know it’s weird. But at least Noel doesn’t dress her, I do. If it’s nice weather, I think: ‘You can’t be going around with a fur hat on.’ So, I put her in something cooler. It sounds mad, but . . ."
We bet she'd look good in the jungle shower...
