He left the Big Brother house last week due to an illness, but now in full health, David Gest is weighing in on what he thinks of the remaining housemates.

Appearing on Big Brother's Bit On The Side, David said that Stephanie's flirtatious antics will do no-good for her, and it may have indeed, damaged her career.

"She could have rectified her problems with her career but she's made it worse," he said, speaking about how she was sacked from Hollyoaks.

Mr Gest then added, "I told Jeremy he's worth more. It's totally wrong."

David also let us in on why he had to leave the house, revealing that he had "strep throat, tonsillitis and a fever."

"I am on the mend now. I didn't want to go. Crazy as it was, I loved being the father figure, the nutcase, the advisor."

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.

Angie Bowie's sad news led to a darkly hilarious mix-up on Monday, as her CBB housemates assumed another 'David' had died.

Channel 5 producers took David Bowie's ex-wife into the diary room to privately tell her that the legendary rocker, with whom she has one son, had died of cancer.

But when she left and turned to Tiffany Pollard for comfort, she simply said, "David is dead," leading to utter confusion for the contestants.

"I can't keep this a secret, she told me not to tell anybody… I'm not able to not tell anyone," Tiffany told the other housemates in the garden, clearly assuming David Gest had passed away in the CBB house.

"I hope she's just joking but she said she's not, she told me that David is dead."

Minutes later, Danielle accused Angie of being "sick" for pretending that someone had died when he was "asleep in the other room."

Watch the whole thing here:

Speaking about the ridiculous mix-up, Angie later called it "a comedy of errors," saying, "it's on tape, I said David not David Gest, but I didn't say Bowie."

Later that day Kim K's best Jonathan Cheban made the decision to quit the house in a shock move, explaining that his time had "expired" and adding, "I'm not really into fighting, Tiffany is insane! It's getting down and dirty and there's a bad vibe in the house."

Just another day in the CBB house…
