I'M A CELEB: DISGESTING
Leery Dave eyes girls in swimwear I'M A CELEB: IT'S DAY ONE
By Nicola Methven, Tv Editor
BIGMOUTH David Gest's sneers and leers quickly led to the first rumbles in the jungle.
The music producer, who is in middle of a messy divorce from Liza Minelli, offended ample-bosomed comic Faith Brown after seeing her showering wearing a swimsuit.
He said loudly: "You could breast feed all of us and we would all have milk."
To add insult to Faith's injury, he heaped praise on Myleene Klass as she wandered past in a bikini.
"Myleene is just the bomb. Her boyfriend is very lucky. She is a definite 10 in every sense of the word," he said.
Faith stormed off to the Bush Telegraph to complain: "I'm no prude. It's just I don't like comments like that."
David also had a few choice words to say about Lauren Booth.
He branding her a "f***ing c***" for calling him "ironing board face".
He made his foul remarks to a shocked Toby Anstis in response to Lauren's comments about his scary plastic surgery and tattooed eyebrows.
Lauren told the Mirror she was terrified he would melt in the heat.
But Gest claimed to Myleene he had just a single operation more than 20 years ago. He said: "I had one nose job it was 1980."
She told him: "You don't have to justify it. If you want to have 10 ... it's your body."
Asked if his pal Michael Jackson had had too much done on his face, he agreed: "Absolutely."
Later he bragged to the whole camp about all his showbiz pals.
When Jan Leeming mentioned she was reading Audrey Hepburn's autobiography, Gest claimed she used to cook him meals.
Puffing out his chest, he said: "She was a good friend of mine. Her son was my best friend. She used to cook for me.
"Liz Taylor, Jimmy Stewart, Betty Davies, Gene Kelly, Ginger Rogers, they were all my closest friends. We used to get together once a week, all the greats," he added modestly.
But Jan was not impressed. She grumbled to producers later: "The names were tumbling out. It was like a Who's Who."
Loving being the centre of attention, David also revealed he and Liza used to have pet names for each other. "She would go, 'I love you Der Der' and I would go 'I love you Der'," was his moving recollection.
Later the lack of food started to get to him. "I want fruit," he declared. "I want to find a tree with oranges. I'm starving." But David has yet to do any work in camp.
By day he lounged around regaling others with tales of his A-list friends, took a shower and moaned about the lack of food.
At one point he mumbled: "If there was one Mars bar we'd all have a fight over it."
He spent his first night keeping the others awake with his loud snoring.
Toby told him: "I thought there was a wild animal walking into camp." David said: "I snore. I can't help it." But he was in high spirits when he accompanied Toby to the Bush Telegraph and burst into song.
Aptly, with his multi-million pound divorce going through, the number belted out was You've Lost That Loving Feeling.
From today, former contestant Sheree Murphy and Phillip Schofield will co-host a new teatime show called I'm a Celebrity ...Get Me Out of Here Exclusive.
Meanwhile there are previews of the day's Bushtucker Trial on ITV1.
