Meanwhile, Jeremy Clarkson later took over presenting duties beginning in 2018.
Chris has now reflected on the “worst” person he had shared a studio with.
Speaking to The Telegraph, he shared: “David Gest, when he came on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? He was just really full of crap about a career which didn’t really exist.
“He was just really full of crap about a career which didn’t really exist.
“He was unpleasant to everyone. He complained that I had a bigger dressing room than he had.
“He was horrible to the young women on the staff, unnecessarily grand, and then, when he was on, he didn’t seem to know anything.”
US film producer David made several appearances in UK reality television.
He starred in I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! back in 2006, placing fourth.
A decade later, David starred in Celebrity Big Brother 17 – and became the centre of an infamous moment.
Viewers watched fellow housemate Tiffany Pollard break down in shock believing David Gest, had died.
Angie Bowie told Tiffany that ‘David was dead’, but failed to clarify that she meant her ex-husband, David Bowie.
As it happened, Gest was taking a nap at the time, so he wasn’t present to correct her.
Later that year, the LA-born star ultimately did pass away at the age of 62.
David was also noted for his friendship with the “King of Pop”, Michael Jackson.
The pair met at school in California when Michael was 10 and David was 15.
David became close friends with Tito as well as Michael and lived with the Jackson family for a period when he was a teenager.
The duo remained friends until Michael’s death in 2009.
Gest produced and starred in a documentary about Jackson’s life called Michael Jackson: The Life of an Icon.
