Gavin Lambe-Murphy
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 12 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 interview3 in Ireland on Sunday.
