CHAT- show

host Alan Carr says a present from U.S. film producer David Gest, ex-husband of Liza Minnelli, is too flamboyant for public display.

‘I did get a wonderful gift from the late David Gest,’ he says. ‘He really took a liking to me. He took us out to dinner. He had such a good time he gave me a candelabra that him and Liza got as a wedding present.

‘ It’s upstairs. It’s a bit showy, as you can imagine for David and Liza’s wedding. Even I’m looking at this candelabra going, “That’s too gay”. But it was really sweet and I thought, “How nice is that?”.’
