Noel Edmonds turned heads during his visit to the Isle of Man, not just for his celebrity status but for an unusual fashion choice.

The 75-year-old was spotted at the Laxey Beach Stop Cafe in Laxey Bay, where he enjoyed some ice cream and cake before posing for a photo with the cafe's owners. However, it wasn't until after the picture was shared that people noticed Noel's mismatched shoes.

Dalia, the 41-year-old manager of the cafe, admitted she hadn't initially seen Noel's odd shoes. She speculated whether the Essex-born presenter had perhaps dressed in the dark.

After posting the photo online, comments started pouring in about the footwear faux pas. Dalia added: "After I posted it everyone started commenting - we didn't see it at all! It is very strange!".

The café manager shared some of the reactions they received and remained puzzled by Noel's fashion choice, pondering if it was a celebrity trend or a simple mistake. She said: "Some of them are quite funny!

"I've just got no idea why he has shoes like this - maybe it's a celebrity fashion statement or maybe he got dressed in the dark!". Despite the shoe mystery, Dalia recalled Noel's visit fondly, noting that she immediately recognised him but didn't want to intrude on his privacy.

She said: "I recognised him straight away but of course you don't want to be right in his face. He tried out the famous Laxey ice cream - he loved it! Everybody loves the raspberry ripple! ".

The TV personality also took the opportunity to soak in the scenic views. Dalia added: "It was a nice day and he just sat and enjoyed the views!".

The Laxey Beach Stop Cafe has become a hotspot for celebrities, with Dalia mentioning recent visits from other well-known figures: "We've had a few famous people here recently filming things. I don't know if he was filming anything. We had Timmy Mallet and Eddie the Eagle last year!".
