'Come Dine With Me' Narrator Dave Lamb Appears On Camera, Internet Stunned

Channel 4

Fans of Come Dine With Me were given a treat when spin-off Champion of Champions launched yesterday, but not everyone saw it that way.

Dave Lamb is the faceless narrating star of the show which has run on Channel 4 for the past 11 years, but he stepped in front of the camera for the show’s new incarnation.

The show is supposedly set in 47-year-old Lamb’s country manor, and he certainly dressed for the occasion.

Lamb can’t be accused of not warning people ahead of time though.

Yep. For the first time in eleven years I’ve gone into work with my trousers on. https://t.co/pBFQjRRATv

And for some people, it was all just a bit too much…

Seeing Dave Lamb and hearing his voiceover simultaneously is blowing my tiny mind a little. It’s all a bit weird. #comedinewithme
