BBLB presenters named

Zezi Ifore and George Lamb

Wow, Big Brother really is nearly upon us. We're not quite sure whether that's cause for rejoicing or cause for locking ourselves inside a small cabinet and refusing to come out until Davina McCall shouts, "It's been an amazing summer! Goodnight!"

But anyway, here's the big news: they've named the presenters who'll replace Dermot O'Leary on Big Brother's Little Brother. And they are… George Lamb and Zezi Ifore.

Said George, slightly ungratefully, we feel: "Imagine how excited someone would be if they were presenting Big Brother. Well I'm just a little bit less excited than that – but I'm still extremely excited."

"This is preposterously good," added Zezi. "I've always loved Big Brother – it's omnipresent, you can't help but get sucked in. And working alongside a lovely lamb too – George Lamb – ain't half bad either. Bring it on!"

In case those names are a little unfamiliar to you, both have apparently cut their teeth presenting E4 Music and Freshly Squeezed, the daily morning music and entertainment TV show.

George is also known for his BBC 6Music morning radio show, the very existence of which has caused consternation among regular listeners and led to a spate of online petitions and Facebook groups demanding his removal from the air.

Let's hope they haven't deleted Dermot's mobile number, just in case…
