George Lamb is a ''terrible'' actor. The 35-year-old presenter has admitted he has no plans to follow in the footsteps of his father Larry Lamb - who has starred in 'EastEnders' and 'Gavin & Stacey' - by becoming an actor because he doesn't think he's ''up to it''. George exclusively told Bang Showbiz: ''I tried it once in a short film and I really didn't believe myself. I thought I was terrible. I always thought it was really easy and I thought, I don't know what all this buzz is around it but I find it really difficult. Generally, I don't really...

Bikini-clad Poppy Delevingne and her new husband, James Cook, looked loved up on the beach in Ibiza, Spain, on Thursday. The couple held on to each other as they took a dip in the ocean and walked hand in hand back to their chairs, where they were joined by a group of friends that included British radio and TV presenter George Lamb. Poppy and George made a few goofy moves on the beach and even did some play-fighting. James and Poppy tied the knot in a traditional church ceremony in London back in May. After the UK nuptials, the couple had a follow-up event in Morocco, which brought out Suki Waterhouse, Georgia May Jagger, and Poppy's younger sister (and maid of honor), Cara Delevingne. Keep reading to see all the photos from James and Poppy's romantic beach day, and check out more hot celebrity beach Pda pictures.

George Lamb wants to host his own interior design show. The TV presenter has developed a penchant for the industry after working with furniture company Hygena on an essential guide for modern men looking to rent/but their first home, and he believes there is a gap in the market for such a show hosted by someone who has an interest on the subject rather than being an expert.

Josie Gibson has admitted that she left the Big Brother house, because she was paranoid about what her beau John James was getting up to in the outside world.

The Bristol lass escaped through a fire exit yesterday afternoon and was immediately reunited with the Australian hunk. In a chat with George lamb on Bblb, Josie admitted that John McCririck and Nadia Almada’s derogatory comments about John did make her nervous and said that the more she thought about what they said, the more she felt trapped in the house.

The 25 year old revealed:

‘Well you’re trapped. I didn’t know what was going on or being said and all the paranoia starts setting in then doesn’t it.

‘I’ve never ever actually felt like that before, I felt claustrophobic. I was missing all my old housemates, I felt paranoid… I just had to get out of there.

Highlights from tonight’s extended show, 10pm, Channel 4

Day 70

10:35am

The housemates are gathered at the sofa’s for the reveal of this weeks shopping task. They watch a Vt of “real life” Bob Righter roaming the house. Josie says that Bob looks like Mario. “I knew it would come to life some day”, says Mario.

Housemates watch as Bob Righter gets a briefcase out of the Tree of Temptation and takes it into the Kitchen. Bob takes out pieces of paper and puts them back into the briefcase. When the Vt is over Andrew says that maybe Bob Righter is going to make predictions.

Bob’s music starts and instructions are given to housemates. Sam reads a rhyme to housemates that says that they must “beat predictions” and that the housemates may go from “pretty to ugly and polite to obscene.” Housemates sit in silence.

Bob Righter...

Just after 4pm today Bob Righter came alive again and sent Josie to the Diary Room for her dilemma. There she was presented with the choice of either proposing to George Lamb in person, in the small task room, or having John James be dressed as a crab for the next 3 days and be referred to only as crab-eyes. Josie picked for John James to be dressed as a crab

George waited patiently in the task room to await her decision. When he realised she was not coming he commented ‘I have been blown out haven’t I?’.

Josie then took John James to the nest to tell him in private about her decision. However she could not bring herself to tell him the whole truth. She told him her dilemma was on whether he was dressed in just a leopard print thong or in a crab suit. In predictable...

Former Big Brother housemate Shabby Katchadourian has admitted that she would like to see Steve Gill or Ben Duncan win the series.

The 24 year old film maker walked out of the house last night, claiming that she worried that staying would damage her friendship with Irish housemate Caoimhe. She appeared on Big Brother’s Little Brother tonight.

Speaking to George Lamb and Emma Willis Shabs explained why she left yesterday.

“A multi-layered onion of reasons,” she replied. “Some of the people in there were totally getting on my nerves.”

She also explained that the weird situation she was in with Caoimhe messed with her head.

“If you have an issue with a girl, you know, you like her and she doesn’t like you back, you go and talk to your best friend about it, unfortunately for me she was my best friend,” explained Shabby.

One little titbit Shabby also...

Speaking to Big Brother Caoimhe had said: “We think a Bb wedding would be amazing.”

She got down on one knee and said: “Ok, Dave will you marry me in the Bb house because I love you and think you’re so beau.”
