Personal life Hoult, a married man, has on a number of occasions been the subject of public revelations concerning his sexual conduct. In 2000, he was fined £300 for kerb crawling. He was also cleared of sending indecent letters to a 15-year-old girl after his lawyer told magistrates that they were no worse than "saucy seaside postcards". In January 2007 he was suspended by West Bromwich Albion after footage of him involved in an orgy was leaked onto the Internet allegedly with him wearing a club polo shirt.

Hoult was diagnosed with primary sclerosing cholangitis in 2023, and stage four bile duct cancer in 2024. By 2025, both illnesses had become terminal, leading to Hoult being put on palliative care.
