David Gest show axed? - July 13 2007
David Gest's show This Is David Gest has been apparently been axed after ITV bosses admitted they didn't know "what to do next".

The music mogul was given a one-year deal for his own fly-on-the-wall series after winning fans with his quirky sense of humour on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!

But ITV boss Simon Shaps told The Sun: "We don't have any plans for him. We're not signing him to another deal - I'm not sure what you would do next."

Simon added that it might not spell the end of David's time with the channel.

"We've got to match the talent with ideas - and we haven't had any ideas for him. I wouldn't rule out working with him in the future."

David was made a judge on musical reality show Grease Is The Word but the show also flopped, with producer Simon Cowell even admitting it had been "slaughtered by the critics".

A spokesperson for ITV was not immediately available for comment.


Gest appearance in Hollyoaks - June 21 2007
As if David Gest isn’t on our screens enough, it seems he might be making a cameo appearance in every teenager’s favourite soap, Hollyoaks.

The 54-year-old recently declared his love for the Channel 4 soap, almost immediately after meeting Gemma Merna, who plays Carmel McQueen in the show.

The Grease Is The Word judge met Gemma plus Carley Stenson and Ricky Whittle, alias Steph Dean and Calvin Valentine, at a party in Manchester on June 15.

The foursome were said to get on well, and a Hollyoaks spokeswoman told Digital Spy: "David Gest is a big fan of Hollyoaks and spent the evening with some of the cast.

"He has since spoken to one of our casting directors about the possibility of him appearing on the show."

The programme is currently tackling some of its most dramatic storylines yet, as evil villain Clare continues her vicious attacks all across the village.

Not content with destroying Katy and Justin’s relationship by telling hardman Warren about their alliance, she will also tell Calvin about Louise’s abortion and will convince little Tom he was responsible for his parents death and should never be allowed near Max again, prompting social services to take him away.

However, it appears her cruel actions will force one person over the edge, when Clare gets pushed from the Loft balcony this Friday.

The who-pushed-Clare storyline is set to run all summer - perhaps David will appear to save the day and catch the criminal.


David spills the beans about new love - May 16 2007
David Gest has lifted the lid on his romance with Malandra Burrows - revealing that things are "very good" between the new couple.

The music producer - who started dating Emmerdale’s Malandra after they co-starred on I’m A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! - told how the pair recently enjoyed a romantic holiday together.

"We just got back from a wonderful vacation - we went to Devon and Cornwall," said the star, who was once married to Liza Minnelli.

"It was incredible. We went to the moors and we went horse riding together - I can ride. We really had a great time."

Meanwhile, David has announced that he’s become an ambassador of new children’s charity Caudwell Children, along with his Grease Is The Word co-star Sinitta.
