Many of us had noticed Noel Fielding well before he began hosting The Great British Baking Show a couple of years ago. He has been working in the industry for years and his resume is extensive. Fielding is a comedian, writer, musician, actor, and artist.

Fielding has a very dark and bizarre sense of humor which quite often comes out as he interacts with the Baking Show contestants and judges, Prue Leith and Paul Hollywood.

Still, despite his long career, fans had no idea that Fielding was over 45 years old. In fact, when they discovered his true age, many fans were completely overwhelmed. Some of them have even begun calling the comedian a vampire.

Noel Fielding’s road to fame was unexpected

Before exploding in the entertainment industry, Fielding began his career by guest-starring on a slew of shows. In the early 2000s, fans began spotting him on series like Garth Marenghi’s Darkplace and The IT Crowd. However, the comedian skyrocketed to success when he began appearing on The Mighty Boosh in 2004. From there, he’s gotten countless more opportunities.

Fielding has co-hosted The Great British Baking Show since 2017, and he also has his own Netflix series in the works. “Basically, a guy gets hold of a magic record player and when you put the record player on a portal appears, and you can go inside your favorite albums,” he revealed, according to Chortle.

Noel Fielding’s net worth is massive

Fielding’s role as a co-host on The Great British Baking show opposite Matt Lucas is a rather cushy deal. However, the comedian certainly doesn’t need the Baking Show checks to stay afloat. In fact, Fielding has a massive net worth.

According to Celebrity Net Worth, Fielding is worth $6 million. His earnings on The Great British Baking Show have only increased since then. When his former co-host Sandi Toksvig left the show, Fielding was offered a massive pay bump to stay.

According to The Sun, the comedian is now earning more than $250,000 for his role on the show.

‘The Great British Baking Show’ fans had no idea Noel Fielding was over 45

The Great British Baking Show fans were stunned when Fielding randomly quipped that he was over 45-years-old. In a recent episode of the series, Fielding’s co-host Lucas said, “Yeah, that joke works best if you’re over 45.” Fielding added, “Yeah, that joke works best if you’re over 45.”

Fans absolutely rushed to Google to determine Fielding’s real age. After all, with his long black hair and fashionable shirts, he has given off a super youthful flair. However, fans were stunned to discover that the London-born entertainer was born on May 21, 1973. This means that today, Fielding is 47-years-old.

One fan tweeted, “Yes yes Noel Fielding’s a vampire lolololol but seriously how the hell is that man 47?! #BakeOff#GBBO.” Since Fielding first began appearing on TV in the late ’90s and early 2000s the math makes sense.
