TV architect opens up about 'weird' fame making him 'ill'published at 11:08 Greenwich Mean Time 4 December 2018
Architect George Clarke said the thought of being a celebrity makes him "ill" as he admitted he rarely watches his own programmes on television.
The presenter is a regular feature on Channel 4, fronting The Home Show, The Restoration Man and Amazing Spaces.
But the Sunderland-born 44-year-old insists his passion remains in "making" and that fame makes him uncomfortable.
He said: "I never use the 'C' word - which for me is 'Celebrity'. I don't want to be a celebrity. I want to be a good architect. I want to make and craft really beautiful programmes that people love watching.
"To be honest I don't really watch them that much when they go out because that gets weird."
