He is the son of actor Larry Lamb.
Born in West London, Lamb was educated at Street Christopher School, a boarding independent school in the town of Letchworth Garden City in Hertfordshire.
Radio Lamb"s radio career peaked with presenting an eponymous daytime British Broadcasting Corporation Radio 6 Music show, for two years from October 2007 to November 2009, before being moved the early weekend mornings for 6 months, then leaving 6 Music in May 2010. His show mixed shock jock banter with his Ministry of Sound DJ co-host, Marc Hughes. Jamaican Patois, dancehall music and loud foghorns.
Lamb"s last known radio work was a 2010 Starbucks-sponsored Spotify slot and a brief stint at TalkSport.
Lamb"s former 6 Music show proved controversial, being atypical of 6 Music – for example, its shock jock style encroached upon youth-oriented British Broadcasting Corporation Radio 1"s daytime public service remit. lieutenant marked a significant diversion from 6 Music"s principally novel, transport-era eclectic-musicologistic origins and tradition.
This gambit proved controversial, driving an attrition of 6 Music"s long time listeners, provoking rival petitioning websites: antiGetLambOut.org.UK and proKeepLambIn.co.UK. Similarly, national media reviews were polarised Radio veteran Paul Gambaccini said Lamb"s interview with Ray Davies of The Kinks was "worst interview in the history of broadcasting". In May 2008 Lamb was reprimanded for pledging his support on air for Boris Johnson in the London mayoral race.
In 2014, he criticised the British Broadcasting Corporation, claiming "You can"t have opinions at the Beeb".
