WHACKY reality tv star David Gest has confessed he wants to marry girlfriend Malandra Burrows - as soon as possible.

The aesthetically-challenged promoter - who shot to fame on I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here - says he is ready to walk down the aisle with fellow jungle survivor Malandra.

What's more, he plans to start a family with the 41-year-old ex-Emmerdale actress.

Undeterred by his messy divorce from Liza Minnelli, David told Star magazine that wedding bells would be ringing "pretty soon, and real fast".

"I hope to settle down in the coming year and eventually have some children," he said.

David, who is back on our screens in the fly-on-the-wall series This is David Gest, also said he was inspired to start an exercise regime after seeing footage of himself looking "disgusting" on I'm A Celebrity.

"I had to, because when I looked at myself I was big, fat and had man boobs, and was terrible to look at. Disgusting," he said.
