BB FANS

Music producer David Gest was banned from a BBC national radio station yesterday when he failed to turn up on time for an interview.

Gest was late for his scheduled appearance on BBC Radio 1's Chris Moyles Breakfast Show and the furious DJ vowed Liza Minelli's ex would never be invited back.

Moyles fumed on air, "Don't stand me up you freaky little man. Get your ass in my building. I don't care how many of the bloody Jacksons you know. That dude better come in crawling on his hands and knees."

Gest's rep reportedly called the studio to inform producers his client was running late due to traffic, but an unsympathetic Moyles continued, "It's cancelled. I'm so angry, and I'm sorry to all our listeners.

"I believe it was a farce and they had no intention of bringing him in. I'm shaking I'm so angry. If I was tough I'd kill someone today."

Gest allegedly arrived at 8.45am, 15 minutes after his slot, but was refused access to Moyles.

Gest's spokesperson says, "We were caught up in bad traffic in the West End. David is upset he couldn't go on the show. That is a decision that Chris made."

Reminds me of poor Alan Partridge, when Roger Moore got 'stuck at the Chiswick roundabout'.
