The Deal or No Deal star even wrote a letter to his ex-wife Helen Soby and left a dictaphone message for their daughters Charlotte, Olivia, Lorna and Alice.

He told ITV News: "My world imploded. And I lost my home. I went to a very dark space.

"The only way I can describe it is it is the darkest space that the human mind ever occupies.

"You see nothing. I mean I had four daughters, I had a wife, I had mates. I saw nothing in that dark space."

Convinced that suicide was the only way out, he continued: "I wrote a letter to my now ex-wife explaining as best I could why I'd reached the end.

"And I recorded little dictaphone messages to my daughters, basically saying goodbye."

The interview came after Noel fell victim to financial fraud.

The long-time British telly host said he was driven "to the brink of emotional annihilation" after a group of corrupt financiers from HBOS bank conspired to destroy his business, Unique Group.
