Another exit! Here’s why David Gest has just QUIT Celeb Big Brother

First Jonathan Cheban, now this…

TV personality David Gest has voluntarily left the Celebrity Big Brother house, with his exit due to be broadcast on the show this evening.

Channel 5 producers confirmed this morning that David had quit the competition due to "medical reasons," making him the second walk-out on the series so far.

"David Gest has decided to leave the Celebrity Big Brother house. His exit will appear in tonight's show on Channel 5 at 9pm," the short statement read.

Earlier this week, David was given permission to sleep in a spare bedroom away from the other housemates after falling ill.

"David has been unwell and given time to rest and recuperate in Big Brother's spare bedroom within the house," a CBB spokesperson said at the time.

The 62-year-old's bedridden state ended up being the subject of a "comedy of errors" however, when Tiffany Pollard mistakenly thought he had died.

After producers privately told Angie Bowie about the death of her ex-husband, rocker David Bowie, she relayed the news to Tiffany – with some confusion.

Upon hearing the words "David's dead," Tiffany immediately assumed Angie was referring to David Gest and proceeded to scream and cry as she alerted the other housemates.

Luckily, David G was just fine – though given today's decision it seems he's still a bit under the weather.
