I was a TV star but quit to have normal job – it’s exhausting but worth it
A TV STAR who quit presenting to have a normal job has revealed it’s ‘exhausting’ but worth it.
George Lamb was a regular face on Channel 4, having presented Big Brother’s Little Brother alongside Emma Willis.
The 43-year-old also hosted game show The Bank Job for the broadcaster.
However, he’s not been seen on screen for sometime now and that’s because he’s busy with his own company.
George, who is the son of Gavin and Stacey star Larry Lamb, co-founded a company called Wilfarmed.
It’s designed to nourish soil that grows crops and claims to remove harmful chemicals, while being sustainable and friendly to the planet.
Speaking about his venture, George said: “Like everything, when you’re starting a business it’s tiring and it’s tough – there’s long hours and some days you think ‘will I make it’.
“Particularly when you’re trying to do something that’s really pioneering and you’re biting off a lot what we’re doing and there’s no real playbook for us to follow.”
When you get everybody here and they come together and you see the way they interact and the difference to how it was last year, it’s really amazing and makes you realise that we’re on to something and it’s happening.
“It’s really something bigger than us and it gives you strength.”
