I'm A Celebrity star David Gest has turned his romantic attentions to Faith Brown.
Although it seemed that his original attraction was towards Phina Oruche, David has praised "beautiful" comedienne Faith and revealed that she reminds him of his ex-wife Liza Minnelli.
"You make us laugh. You are elegant," he told Faith as they sat down together. "You are really beautiful. We all think you are beautiful."
"I’m not beautiful," she replied. "But thank you very much for that. I have got the big nose."
"I think you are beautiful," David insisted. "When I fell in love with whatshername it was because of that nose and those eyes, it was the imperfections. I have never liked stunning beauties. I like people like you that are just beautiful because of those great features. That’s what to me makes a great woman."
Faith explained in the Bush Telegraph later: "I’m very impressed with David actually because I really did not expect him to be the way he is."
