He achieved cult status on I’m A Celebrity … Get Me Out of Here! with his madcap stories and hilarious antics - making him an overnight sensation with ITV viewers. Now, the man with a maid improbably named Vaginica Ceaman, has an ITV1 show dedicated all to himself.

A six part fly on the wall documentary series reveals the man behind the shades, slick suits and tall tales - This is David Gest.

Since he left the jungle in December last year, David has taken up residence at the Grosvenor House Hotel in London with the ITV cameras accompanying him as he goes about his day to day mad cap life.

“I decided to stay in the UK because I lived here from ’92 to ’94 and I loved it, and the reaction has been so incredible, the people are so warm, so why not stay where you’re loved?” says David. “I also like clotted cream.”

Speaking from his huge superstar bed David says: “I’m not a diva but I’m definitely someone who you need to have extra mileage points for to get into the club.”

David has been spotted out and about with a huge red wig promoting the new show in London….strange….

This Is David Gest will air on ITV1 Network Sunday 22 April 10:15 PM to 11:00 PM
