Jungle pair in rumoured romance

David Gest and fellow I'm A Celebrity star Malandra Burrows are rumoured to be an item.

The pair turned up together at the launch of the ITV talent show Grease Is The Word, where Gest is on the judging panel.

It's claimed love started to blossom in the jungle when the music producer, 53, said he was keen to hook up with the 41-year-old ex-Emmerdale star.

They've been seen out together on a number of occasions after Burrows split from her boyfriend last month.

A source told a newspaper: "David told a few friends he was keen on Malandra after letting it slip he was taking her out on dates.

"They have been out for some romantic dinners and are really enjoying each other's company."

But Malandra's agent Keith Bishop denied reports, saying: "Malandra got on with all the jungle contestants. She is as friendly with David as with everyone else."
