British celebrities Sir Cliff Richard and Noel Edmonds have reunited in New Zealand, sharing laughs as they joked about their ages. <\/p>\n

“It’s Monday, November 17 in Wellington, and at last I get to see you again after all these years”, exclaimed Edmonds in a video shared to his Instagram account.<\/p>\n

“I know, it’s been too long, I mean, a hundred years separating us is unbelievable,” Sir Cliff joked back in the video, <\/p>\n

Edmonds went on to confirm, “It was 25 years ago that you were on my Christmas Day show… So I wanted to come and say thank you. But I then started to do some mathematics \u2014 and we have a combined age of 161”.<\/p>\n

Sir Cliff, who is 85, said: “Oh my goodness me. I didn\u2019t know that you were older than me!” in a nudge at Edmonds, who is his junior at 76. <\/p>\n

Sir Cliff is in New Zealand for his Can’t Stop Me Now tour.<\/p>\n

He played Kiri Te Kanawa Theatre in Auckland on Friday and Saturday, before taking the stage in the capital last night.<\/p>\n

He sold out Christchurch’s Town Hall venue ahead of performing there on Wednesday, his last stop in New Zealand. <\/p>\n

Sir Cliff’s visit coincides with a much longer residency from Edmonds. <\/p>\n

He has been in New Zealand since 2018, managing a Motueka-based hospitality venture, River Haven, with his partner Liz. <\/p>\n

Edmonds’ experience managing the establishment and struggles against the realities of small town life, New Zealand’s wild weather, and unpredictable conditions are chronicled in his new show Noel Edmonds’ Kiwi Adventure<\/a>. <\/p>\n

The show features Edmonds leading a vineyard, coffee-cart, general store, restaurant and pub while simultaneously sharing his spiritual views, navigating romance with “earth-angel” Liz, and fighting international and local media criticism around staff treatment. <\/p>\n
