"I fell into being a TV presenter and it just snowballed," he said, before adding: "If you follow the money, which is what I was doing, you end up in light entertainment, and that’s all very nice but it wasn’t making my heart sing."
George explained that as his career wasn't making him happy, he decided to completely change his life.
Last month, he joined his famous dad as the pair headed to a Marks and Spencer store in Chelmsford, Essex, to promote Wildfarmed bread.
The brand was launched by George, who said: "This is where things get really interesting. By working together with M&S we are able to transform vast areas of farmland from destructive chemical-based systems to regenerative systems that heal the land.
"Our partnership with Marks and Spencer heralds a new chapter not only for Wildfarmed but for businesses who want to be on the right side of history."
