George Lamb hopes for 'fun' BB

George Lamb has revealed that he wants Big Brother producers to focus on "fun" rather than tension this year.

The Big Brother's Little Brother host admitted that he likes contestants to enjoy their time in the house - because it fits in with the companion show's light-hearted approach.

"I hope it's as much fun as the last six or eight weeks of last summer were, and as fun as Celebrity was," Lamb explained. "I loved going into work and doing that stuff."

He added: "I hope everybody enjoys it, I hope it's not too contrived in the house, I hope everybody has fun. You can't really do much if they're not doing much. So more than anything I hope they're having a nice time in the house. If they're having a nice time, we're going to have a great time."

Lamb took over as presenter of Little Brother last year after Dermot O'Leary quit the show to concentrate on The X Factor.

Big Brother's Little Brother starts on E4 at 6pm on Friday, June 5.
