David Gest Terrifies "I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here" Co-Stars  11/11/06

Contestants set to appear alongside Liza Minnelli's estranged husband David Gest on a British reality TV show are 'terrified' about spending time with him, because of his "strange looks".

The 54-year-old will be living in the Australian jungle with British-known celebrities during filming for I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!

Contestant Lauren Booth, who is British Prime Minister Tony Blair's sister-in-law, says, "He's even scarier than his pal Michael Jackson. I mean, I wish him well but he's got an ironing board face. I'm terrified. I'm really scared to be around someone who's got tattooed eyebrows.

"He might melt in the jungle - there'll be bits dropping off."

Gest is embroiled in a long-running divorce battle with Minnelli, in which he has demanded $10 (#5.5 million) from his ex-wife for an alleged assault.
