David Gest to star in his own musical

David Gest has signed up to star in a musical about his life, despite openly admitting that he can not sing or dance.

The music producer and former I'm A Celebrity... star will take to the stage as himself in David Gest is Nuts... My Life As A Musical, which documents his lifestyle, marriages and celebrity friends.

Gest's close friend, Michael Jackson, said: "Considering David can't sing and can't dance, it will be amazing to see just how nuts he gets on stage."

Tickets for the show at London's Hammersmith Apollo go on sale today.
