David Gest, who appeared on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here, is to get his own reality TV show in the UK. The music producer was best known for being the estranged husband of singer Liza Minnelli - but became a star in his own right on the jungle show.

Gest, who counts Michael Jackson as a close friend, said he expected the fly-on-the-wall ITV1 documentary to be "an absolute blast".

The programme is due to be screened later this year.

Gest admitted he was surprised by the positive reaction to his time on I'm A Celebrity.

I'm sure it'll features hours of footage of Gest spending afternoons with Mr Jackson, wouldn't it!

Surely if Mr Gest was such a "close personal friend" of Michael Jackson he'd have nothing to do with ITV considering all his troubles of recent years arose out of that documentary!

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."
