I'm A Celeb star Noel explained: "I had a guy who set up a website to kill me and I had the option of bringing the police into this, but I went down a slightly different route. I met him."
Speaking on This Morning in 2016, he said: "It was very interesting because he went to pieces immediately.
"He had a very simple decision: either I went to the police, and the police advised this was a criminal situation - he would have got a criminal record - or meet me.
"I wanted to understand why he wanted to kill me. The fact of the matter was he was a man in his 20s. His sister did most of the talking."

Explaining how he took his make-up artist wife Liz Davies along for the chilling encounter, the jungle tough guy added: "He broke down completely in this office in Bristol.
"It was apparent that it was started as something light-hearted but then it became something quite malicious. And then of course he didn't understand what he'd started.
"Liz actually took control of the meeting. Right at the beginning she looked him in the eye and said: 'Why do you want to kill my husband?'
"He went to pieces completely because there was no answer."
