A little recipe for you:

Take David Gest, add one camera phone, one friend then mix with copious amounts of red wine and perhaps a dash of cider. Allow to ferment for a few hours and you should have a fine case of great embarrassment for an esteemed or should that be steaming blogger.

Having spotting the Ex-Mr Minelli & Concert promoter David Gest holding court for tv cameras outside The Jazz Cafe it seemed a reasonable request from my inebriated buddy to borrow my camera phone. What was less expected was that as I stood watching her snapping away she’d suddenly decide to bellow “David David… this man is a very important blogger you need to have your picture taken with him!!“.

I’m not sure who was more horrified, me or David, who in a split second went from a gaggle of women on his arm to 6ft 6″ of startled and slightly puce me.
Declaring that he hoped “I blogged him” (a euphemism I’ve not heard before) I’ve since discovered ITV were filming for a David Gest reality series. If I end up looking like a prize pillock to an audience of dozens on ITV4 those responsible will be hunted down and the punishment swift.
