Noel Fielding is back on our screens tonight for the new celebrity series of the Great British Bake Off following recently raising health concerns.

The 51 year old star of The Mighty Boosh unexpectedly left Apple TV+ series The Completely Made-Up Adventures of Dick Turpin, where he played the main role, in the middle of production.

It was reported the series was cancelled due to health issues during the holiday season.

While Noel, also known for appearances on The IT Crowd and Never Mind the Buzzcocks, has not commented on these concerns, his famous partner previously opened up about suffering dramatic symptoms before a shock health diagnosis.

Noel has been in a romantic relationship with radio host and writer Lliana Bird for several years.

The couple reportedly fell in love in 2010 after she appeared in multiple episodes of The Mighty Boosh.

Lliana has her own career in the spotlight, DJing at festivals around the world and being the longest-serving female DJ on Xfm/Radio X.

Lliana, aged 42, opened up about her illness on Giovanni Fletcher’s Happy Mum, Happy Baby podcast last year.

She said: “I had a bit of a wild ride before I had my first daughter, Dali…I was doing the charity, the radio on the weekends and the book and I was just working all hours basically.

“I didn’t have days off and that carried on for nearly a year. And then I got really sick… I started waking up in the morning covered in hives.

“And initially I was like ‘Oh I’m allergic to the washing powder’, and it kept on happening, and then I woke up one morning, I was going about my day, and my face blew up.”

She said it was “unbelievable”, adding “my lips were huge, my eyes were huge. I just looked completely different.”

She revealed she had turned to her doctors, but they didn’t know what was wrong.

Eventually she was diagnosed with an autoimmune condition.

Lliana added: “The doctors just said to me ‘You’ve got to reduce the stress in your life, you’re never going to get pregnant…it’s never going to happen, your body is in distress’.”

Since the diagnosis, she tries to control her condition by eating healthily, meditating and taking her foot off the pedal at work.

The couple welcomed their first daughter in 2018.

They named her Dali, in celebration of the Channel 4 star’s favourite artist Salvador Dali.

Noel and Lliana welcomed their second daughter, Iggy, in August 2020.

It is believed she is named after rock legend Iggy Pop.

While chatting on Giovanna Fletcher’s Happy Mum, Happy Baby podcast last year, Lliana gave insights into family life, praising Noel’s magical parenting style.

She said: “My partners such a fun time dad. He’s magical and he makes even the sillest moments, even breakfast, he makes it such a moment.”

She added: “I’ve got a great partner…We’re quite lucky…we kind of have to take turns a bit in terms of who’s more present at home and who’s working.

“But my partner work he’s been really full on for the last seven months he’s basically been filming three shows back to back and it’s been a lot.

“Even when I’m working and I’m away I still feel like the CEO of the family.”

The Great British Bake Off for Stand Up To Cancer stars on Channel 4 tonight at 7.40pm.
