Celebrity Big Brother 2016: David Gest has QUIT the show

Jonathan Cheban famously left the Celebrity Big Brother 2016 house, insisting there was “too much drama” for him to handle in there.

And it seems as if Kim Kardashian’s BFF has sparked an exodus.

Earlier today, it was confirmed that David Gest has also decided to walk away from CBB 2016.

However, unlike Jonathan, David has not left because of all those arguments, tears, and tension-fuelled conversations.

Instead, he has worryingly revealed that he has quit the show due to concerns over his health.

A Channel 5 spokesperson said: "Due to medical reasons, David Gest has decided to leave the Celebrity Big Brother House.

“His exit will appear in tonight's show on Channel 5 at 9pm."

David Gest's health problems caused some confusion in the house last week, when Tiffany Pollard mistakenly believed that the housemate had died.

This came as a result of her speaking with Angie Bowie, who had just been informed that her ex-husband - David Bowie - had died.

Traumatised by the news, Tiffany quickly informed other housemates that "David is dead”.

The horrified housemates rushed to the bedroom to check on the American megastar, who was asleep and unaware of the commotion.

Ofcom told ITV News that it had received more than 200 complaints about the coverage.

There are concerns that David will not be the last to leave the CBB 2016 house early, as several housemates have threatened to walk.

Angie, just a few days ago, packed her bags and announced: “I’m done with it, it's over."

However, after entering the diary room , she seemed to have a change of heart.

She said: "I'm sorry I'm so cranky, but when I don't sleep, I just, that's it."

We wish David Gest all the best following his departure from the show.
