Former I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! star David Gest has announced his own musical.

Gest, 54, the ex-husband of Liza Minnelli, will star in David Gest Is Nuts... My Life As A Musical.

His best friend, fallen pop star Michael Jackson said: "We never thought we would see the day David Gest would sing and dance in public.

"Now he is working on flips and dances with little people. Considering David can't sing and can't dance it will be amazing to see just how nuts he gets on stage!"

Tito Jackson joked: "The fact that David Gest will be singing with so many of these legendary artists is scaring Michael and I to death.

"One thing is for sure - this is going to be one entertaining show!!!"

Gest, who won over the public on the last series of I'm A Celebrity..., admitted: "In my wildest imaginations, I never thought I'd be dancing, singing and performing to over 100,000 people throughout the UK - considering I have no real talent, this is quite a feat."

The "musical play" kicks off on February 20 next year at London's Hammersmith Apollo before touring around the UK.

The two nights in London will benefit the Caudwell Children charity, of which Gest is an ambassador, for terminally ill children.

The musical tells the story of Gest's life with comedy and music and will feature 20 top five records performed by the original artists.

They include Gloria Gaynor singing I Will Survive and Shalamar performing I Can Make You Feel Good.

It will also feature many of the characters Gest made famous in the jungle such as the "little people in David land".
