Noel Edmonds injures his elbow lifting the telephone

An orthopaedic consultant has found that Noel Edmonds is suffering from repetitive strain injury in his right elbow from lifting the telephone too often on his new television game show, Deal or No Deal.

Edmonds, 57, said: "The phone is pretty heavy and I have to pick it up a dozen times a show. We shoot three shows a day and it got so painful that I could hardly pick the bleeding thing up.

A likely story.
