Larry Lamb's wild new job after son George quits their TV show for major career change

has confirmed that the TV series he hosts with has come to an end. The star showed off his real self in the outdoorsy series, but revealed that he’s landed another opportunity to share a passion of his with the public in an exciting new role.

star Larry, 77, presented Channel 5's Britain by Bike with George, 45, with the series showing them as they cycled across the UK, showing off areas of natural beauty while also hilariously trying their hand at country skills. While the show lasted two seasons, it came to an end when , and Larry confirmed that his son was more than busy with his successful business - meaning less time for biking trips with dad.

star Larry said “unfortunately no” when asked whether Britain by Bike would come back for season three, sharing that while he and George “still get to spend some time together” they can’t make enough time to take to the roads.

"You're setting out a big schedule for a show like that. You need a period of two or three months locked in where you can both do it. So it's a little bit difficult,” he told .

Larry added: “But I live in hope that that might happen again. I think it was one of the fondest memories I have, is of going around the country with him.”

George undertook a major career switch, and is now working alongside businessman Edd Lees and musician Andy Cato - one half of - in the company Wildfarmed.

The business, based in Wiltshire, promotes regenerative agriculture and is made up of 35 farms in the UK and seven in France.

George explained his decision to leave TV and move to working with grains, telling The Times that after leaving school, people tend to "chase" what they believe success is - traditionally a nice house and a healthy bank balance.

"I fell into being a TV presenter and it just snowballed," he said of the major change. He added: "If you follow the money, which is what I was doing, you end up in light entertainment, and that’s all very nice but it wasn’t making my heart sing."

While Larry can’t reunite with George for their cycling series, he has a new job promoting another interest of his; pubs.

for their project ‘The Sipping Forecast,’ which aims to get more people back into pubs by giving away up to 100,000 pints during April showers.

Greene King has installed detectors in six pub gardens, in , Glasgow, Birmingham, Leeds, Bristol, and Wallingford in Oxfordshire. If rain is spotted, pubgoers can go into any of the chain’s pubs and get a drink on the house with the magic words: “It’s raining, can I have a free pint?”

Larry shared the reason he was invited to take the job explaining: “I sort of represent a lot of people, a lot of ordinary people like old Mick Shipman and Pamela. They're the sort of people that go to pubs and sit in a pub garden, have a pint of beer.”
