Gest signs exclusively to ITV

I'm A Celebrity ... Get Me Out of Here! star David Gest has signed a deal with ITV to appear in a fly-on-the-wall series about his life.

I'm A Celebrity producers ITV Productions will make the show, to be broadcast later this year, which will follow Gest in his day-to-day life producing musical shows, catching up with his A - list friends and getting to grips with his new found popularity in the UK.

Gest said: "I chose this offer above all the others as I love the I'm A Celebrity team and we work so well together. This is just the kind of show I wanted to do, its going to be an absolute blast!"

During I'm a Celebrity, Gest told tales of his house called Albino Heights, his mother and father who only have one leg each, and his maid, Vaginica.

Controller of alternative programmes, Layla Smith, who commissioned the show, said: "We can't wait to go behind the scenes with the man himself - the nation want to see it and we are delighted he has chosen ITV for what is sure to be a fascinating series."
