David Gest quits Celebrity Big Brother

David Gest has quit Celebrity Big Brother for medical reasons.

Show producers confirmed this morning that the 62-year-old has left the house and they will be showing his exit on tonight's episode. He is the second housemate to voluntarily quit, following Jonathan Cheban's departure last week.

The American producer and television personality has spent a total of 13 days in the reality TV programme. He has spent much of his time in recent days in a room alone as he battled illness in the house. A Celebrity Big Brother spokesperson confirmed: 'David Gest has decided to leave the Celebrity Big Brother House. His exit will appear in tonight's show at 9pm.'

Celebrity Big Brother airs each night on TV3 in Ireland.
