Dominik Diamond Paul Dominik Diamond ( born 1969 ) is a television and radio presenter from Arbroath , Scotland . He is best known as the original presenter of Channel 4 's pioneering video gaming programme GamesMaster . Diamond co-hosted sports programme Live and Dangerous in 1997 , and When Games Attack , aired in 2004 . Since 1996 , he writes a twice-weekly column in the Daily Star and had a regular column in the monthly magazine PC Zone until the August 2006 edition . Diamond presented Sportscall on BBC Radio Five Live in the 1990s and occasionally hosted the station 's phone-in football show 6-0-6 . He currently presents the breakfast show on Xfm Scotland , having previously presented the weekend morning programme on its previous incarnation Beat 106 . His presenting style is witty and slightly juvenile ; GamesMaster was riddled with innuendo from Diamond , along with his overuse of the word `` pants '' . Series 4 included a compilation of such incidents , ending with Diamond receiving a gift of underpants . He also shared a rivalry with co-commentator , bandanna-wearing Dave Perry . In 2006 , during the filming of Crucify Me , a Channel Five documentary , Diamond took part in the live annual Holy week re-enactment of the crucifixion at San Pedro Cutud . However , he backed down at the last minute , breaking into tears . Similarly , he is featured on Discovery Real Time programme , Rubble Trouble , which charts the development of his house extension . In July 2006 , he appeared in the satirical quiz show spoof , `` Rob Brydon 's Annually Retentive '' where his career was parodied and one of the more noticeable jokes was his expectation of getting a column in The Financial Times as a result of his appearance on the show . Personal life Diamond and his partner , Phoebe , have three children , Molly , Charlie and Honor . References ^ A crucifixion too far ( HTML ) . The Scotsman ( 2006 ) .
