I'm A Celebrity... contestant David Gest reportedly failed to board his flight to Brisbane yesterday, causing concern amongst the reality show's producers.

An insider on the show told The Sun: "There was a team waiting to greet him and a stretch limo to whisk him to a five-star hotel. But there was no one of his description coming off the plane. That’s when alarm bells started ringing. Everyone’s just hoping he turns up tomorrow, otherwise it will be a disaster."

Gest, the ex husband of Liza Minelli, is accustomed to a life of luxury and there are fears that he has changed his mind about living in the jungle.
