David ’not in visa crisis’ - May 4 2007
David Gest’s spokesperson has denied reports that he fled the UK yesterday after his visa ran out.

Newspaper reports suggested that the I’m A Celeb star was forced to rush to Ireland to get a new visa before his appearance as a judge on Grease Is The Word tomorrow - and that ITV bosses were anxious he wouldn’t make it back in time.

"His visa is not running out and in any case you don’t go to Ireland to renew visas," his spokesperson said.

"David went to Ireland for a day to comply with work permit guidelines which coincided with a trip he had planned to Ireland to see Westlife who he became friends with when filming the David Gest show.

"He will be back in the UK for Grease."

Earlier this week the 53-year-old admitted that he finds it hard to watch himself on the show because he looks "weird" and "crazy".

He said: "It’s hard for me to watch myself, I cringe. When I did see a little bit of it I thought the guy was definitely out to lunch. Crazy.

"I was doing a reality check - ’Is this really me?’ I guess it is me, but he’s weird."

David admits doing drugs - April 17 2007
David Gest has revealed that his liberal mum allowed him to smoke cannabis in his bedroom as a teenager.

The music mogul admitted smoking pot from the age of 15 - until a bad experience with angel dust put him off drugs for life, the Daily Mirror reports.

"Now I hate drugs. I constantly tell kids to stay away from them - they are the root of all evil," the 53-year-old said.

David added that when he was growing up it was "not unusual" to take drugs.

"I smoked marijuana perhaps twice a week, and took uppers and downers from the ages of 15 to 24," he admitted.

"But that wasn’t unusual then - it was towards the end of a hippy era. My parents know I took pot. In fact, my mother told me to go to my room to smoke so I wasn’t out somewhere getting into trouble.

"Each time she said that I wanted to do it less - it was all about rebelling."

David said his fling with drugs came to an end when he was offered what he thought was a joint, but it turned out to be angel dust.

"I smoked it, but had horrific hallucinations - oh my God, I was out of control. That was when I stopped taking drugs. I started doing them to be a rebel, then realised that doing drugs just meant I was being an idiot."

I’m A Celeb romance? - Mar 16 2007
David Gest is rumoured to have his eye on fellow I’m A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here contestant Malandra Burrows, it’s been reported.

It may seem like an unlikely pairing but, according to The Sun, the pair have enjoyed a string of dates since meeting in the Aussie jungle last year.

The 53-year-old music producer is divorced from Liza Minelli and the former Emmerdale actress, 41, split with her boyfriend last month.

An insider said: "It’s early days but they are getting on really well.

"David told a few friends he is keen on Malandra after letting it slip he was taking her out on dates.
