Gavin Lambe-Murphy
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gavin Lambe-Murphy (born November 1975, Dublin) is an Irish gossip columnist. Lambe-Murphy wrote a weekly column in The Sunday Times which chronicled his hectic social life, similar to that written by then British IT Girls Tara Palmer-Tomkinson and Lady Victoria Hervey. Around the same time he also penned a column for popular Irish society magazine VIP, eventually becoming its editor. After an appearance on a reality TV show entitled Young, Posh and Loaded, Lambe-Murphy lost both his Sunday Times and VIP column.
Lambe-Murphy was educated at Chanel College, Coolock, Dublin, and, later, at Bruce College on South William Street, Dublin 2. During this time, he was known simply as Gavin Murphy; he later added Lambe, his mother's maiden name, to create what he believed to be the more upmarket double-barelled Lambe-Murphy moniker.
After appearing on Young, Posh and Loaded Lambe-Murphy appeared on several other reality TV shows including Channel 4's Five Go Dating and RTE's Celebrity Farm. Up until recently he was a social columnist with tabloid newspaper Ireland on Sunday, now know as the Irish Mail on Sunday.
He recently came out as being gay [1][2] and chronicled some of his conquests, relationships and lovelife in the Sunday Independent's Life magazine.
Lambe-Murphy is currently part of a court case in Ireland concerning the alleged defamation of Paddy O'Gorman in an interview[3] in Ireland on Sunday.
