I’m A Celebrity star Larry Lamb has an 18-year-old granddaughter that he doesn’t know about
Daughter the ex-EastEnder last saw when she was seven months old is now mum to a teen girl
I’M a Celeb star Larry Lamb has been a grandad for 18 years — and never knew.
The daughter he last saw when she was seven months old is now mum to a teen girl, The Sun on Sunday can reveal.
We tracked them down after the ex-EastEnder, 69, poignantly told fellow jungle contestants how he split with first wife Anita when she was pregnant.
He later got to hold baby daughter Vanessa — but just the once and for a single precious hour.
Larry lost touch with his ex, whose new fella adopted Vanessa when she was three.
The star mused sadly in Australia: “I might be a grandad. I’ve got a long lost daughter, so I might be.”
“I always wanted to [know her], but me and her mum broke up, and then she was adopted by her mum’s new husband, so I never had anything to do with her.
“I have no idea where she is, but I do think about her a lot.”
We can inform him he is.
Vanessa is now a teacher at a school in Murcia, Spain.
Her daughter — Larry’s only grandchild — is 18 and at university in the UK.
