George Martin Lamb born 20 December 1979 (age 30) in Dundee, Scotland is a British radio and TV presenter.
Career
Lamb previously presented his own show on BBC Radio 6 Music; his show mixed banter with his Ministry of Sound DJ co-host Marc Hughes and Jamaican patois and dance-hall music. One regular contributor was Dr Michael Brooks, the scientist and author of the now best seller 13 Things That Don't Make Sense.
In 2007, he replaced Alex Zane as the host of the second series of BBC reality show Celebrity Scissorhands and returned in 2008 for the third series. He has also presented The Restaurant, Road To V, and Young Butcher of the Year, as parodied on Harry Hill's TV Burp.[1]
On 19 February 2010, he presented EastEnders Live: The Aftermath alongside Kirsten O'Brien, interviewing the cast and production team after the first live episode of EastEnders.
Lamb has been the presenter of Big Brother's Little Brother (or BBLB) since summer 2008, taking over from Dermot O'Leary who had presented BBLB since 2001. He first presented the show with co-host Zezi Ifore, though she was sacked halfway through the series, leaving Lamb the sole presenter; for the final series of BBLB in 2010, Emma Willis joined Lamb as co-presenter.
He took part in a reality TV show on ITV2 called The Parent Trip with his father, actor Larry Lamb.
Lamb presented a programme on BBC Three exploring the world of legal party pills and herbal highs. [2]
Music management
He managed the band Audio Bullys and also the pop singer Lily Allen before she got a record deal. He met Lily in Ibiza.[3]
Personal life
Lamb is the son of actor Larry Lamb. His mother, Linda E. Martin, is an entrepreneur. George has one older sister called Vanessa Clare Lamb born 1979 and he has two younger sisters called Eloise Alexandra Lamb, born in 1999, and Eva-Mathilde Lamb, born in 2003.[4] He supports Dundee United[5] and Fulham F.C.[6] He dated model/actress Karima Adebibe from April 2008 to early 2010 [7]. [8]
During a recent BBC Radio interview, Lamb stated that he was a victim of excessive bullying at school and said, "Even today, I can't help saying the word, 'Guys!?' whenever I feel lonely or sad." He went on to reveal that this was due to an incident in his childhood, whilst playing with a group of "friends" who, under the pretense of a game of hide-and-seek, ran away and left him alone in a field.
George is a vegetarian. He gave up meat after slaughtering a goat for an ITV show he filmed with his father. [9]
Controversies
Lamb's former 6 Music show proved controversial, being atypical of 6 Music and having more in common with the style of the youth-oriented Radio 1, signalling a change of direction for the station, away from its "music" roots. This was unpopular with many listeners to 6 Music. This provoked rival anti- [10] and pro- [11] petitions and both unfavourable[12] and favourable [13] reviews.
In May 2008 Lamb was reprimanded for appearing to pledge his support on air for Boris Johnson in the London mayoral race.[14]
