Personal life

Edmonds was married to Gillian Slater in 1971. The marriage ended in divorce after eleven years.[2] In July 1986, he married Helen Soby. They have four daughters: Charlotte, Lorna, Olivia and Alice. The couple bought an 855-acre (3.46 km2) estate at Jacobstowe, near Okehampton, Devon, as a family home. In 2004, he and Soby divorced. There was much tabloid publicity because of her extramarital affair.[3]

It was reported Edmonds was involved with English teacher and former Miss England Pauline Bull.[4]

On July 23, 2009 Edmonds married his third wife, Liz Davies. She was a make-up artist on the programme Deal or No Deal?.

As a result of his success on Deal or No Deal?, Edmonds purchased a new home in Devon, a £1.7 million Grade-II manor house.[5]
