James Earl Jones, Sir David Attenborough, Morgan Freeman – all faces AND voices that are instantly recognisable to many around the world.

Then there’s David Lamb, the man who spends most of his days mocking the feeble culinary attempts of the British public on the hugely popular Come Dine With Me UK.

Having spent all of 11 years being just the voice of the show Lamb finally appeared in front of the camera, something that caused the British public to go absolutely bloody mental.

Disclaimer – we mean mental by British standards, which involves much tweeting and fervent discussion. We’re glad THIS GUY bucked the trend though, if the show went like this every week we might be bothered to watch.

Oh the horror – we could go on but you get the point.

If you’re a real sucker for punishment here is the entire 46-minute episode because we know you’re trying to pass the time until First Thursdays.
