Grub Smith is the intrepid British host of Travel Sick, a challenge-based show featuring bizarre and dangerous tasks performed by Smith in various cities around the globe. Some of his tasks have included playing golf on a glacier in zero visibility in Iceland; eating a live baby octopus in Korea; shagging a watermelon in Morocco and eating a road kill sandwich while parachuting in Australia.

After graduating from Cambridge, in England with an MA in History and Anthropology, Smith started his career as a successful journalist. He was a key figure in the launches of GQ, Esquire, Maxim and also the re-launch of England's FHM in 1995 (which has since gone on to become the world's most successful men's magazine).

Currently, Smith is writer for England's FHM and contributes monthly features, regular film reviews and interviews with celebrities ranging from Paul Newman, Guy Ritchie and Pamela Anderson, to Pierce Brosnan, Ricky Martin and Mike Myers. His monthly sex and relationships column is syndicated to 14 countries worldwide. He has also published two best-selling books, Real Sex and Real Lover by Harper Collins.

Smith's additional television credits include hosting and co-writing "Sin Cities," a travel show about the world's weirdest and sexiest destinations for Bravo (a UK television channel that features irreverent programming, and not affiliated with America's Bravo network.

Smith resides in England and has a seriously witty sense of humour and a real love of the unexpected. He could not be happier than when sitting at home on the sofa, eating take-out with the remote control in his hand.
