The music producer and reality TV star was best known for being the fourth husband of Liza Minnelli (pictured together, left), a shortlived but colourful union that was derided as the weirdest marriage in the history of showbusiness.
Seemingly united by nothing more than their love of stardom and an apparent penchant for drastic plastic surgery, their marriage baffled many, especially as Gest was widely believed to be gay and Minnelli a bloated alcoholic and drug addict. Gest, who was found dead on Tuesday morning at a London hotel, also counted not only Michael Jackson (pictured together, right) but also Elizabeth Taylor among his closest friends and his successful appearances in Celebrity Big Brother and ITV's I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! (inset) brought him unlikely stardom in the UK.
