Gest to be best man at Willis wedding

Former Busted singer Matt Willis has asked music producer David Gest to serve as best man at his forthcoming wedding.

Willis, 23, is currently planning his August 2008 marriage to MTV UK presenter Emma Griffiths.

After forming a strong bond with Gest on British reality TV show I'm A Celebrity - Get Me Out Of Here, Willis insists the pair are such close friends, he wants Gest by his side during his nuptials.

He says: "David is probably my best mate right now. I speak to him every day on the phone and hang out with him about three times a week.

"We're completely different and there is a 30 year age gap but it doesn't ever come into play. He's a really funny, great guy."
