David Gest leaves Celebrity Big Brother

The announcement was made on Twitter

Published 18th Jan 2016

David Gest has left the Celebrity Big Brother house due to ‘medical reasons’.

On the Channel 5 website it says he’ll leave in Monday night’s show.

Fans of the show tweeted their disappointment.

It comes after the TV personality spent some time in a separate room in the house to recover from an illness.

This had at one point caused confusion for Tiffany, who misinterpreted hearing that David Bowie had died, instead thinking David Gest had died.

The 62-year old has spent less than two weeks in the house.
