Dave Lamb is an unsung hero. A master of sarcasm and a total genius in wit. He has me in hysterics when I am watching, particularly when he bruises the egos of individuals who are so full of themselves. Any budding contestant would see the funny side that Lamb brings to the show.

Like you needed further encouragement to complete the application form? Over the week, each contestant has a turn at hosting and their guests will give them a rating out of ten. The person with the highest total of the week will win £1000. All of this for a day’s work. Not bad, not bad at all.

You will come across people from a diverse range of backgrounds and encounter individuals who would never normally impact on your everyday life. Incredible and long-lasting friendships have blossomed from this show and the many personality clashes create unpredictable results. What have you got to lose?
