David Gest, the former husband of Liza Minnelli, has been found dead in a London hotel aged 62.
The music producer was married to Minnelli from 2002 until 2003, but they only officially divorced in 2007. He was also known for being a close friend of the late Michael Jackson.
The TV personality gained a following in the United Kingdom recently when he appeared on Celebrity Big Brother.
Friend Imad Handi said: 'It is with great sadness that I can confirm that David Gest has died today.
'David was truly larger than life. He was not just a huge talent and a dear friend but a showbiz icon.
'I know he will be missed by millions of fans around the world, and particularly in Britain, who came to love his charm and blistering one-liners.
'If I may steal the words of one eminent critic, David was a natural star and a genuine celebrity. I will miss him desperately.'
Police were called to the Four Seasons hotel this morning to reports of a 'an unexplained death'.
A Scotland Yard spokesman said: 'Police were called at 10.17 on Tuesday 12 April to the Four Seasons hotel, in Westferry Circus, E14, to reports of an unexplained death of a man in his 60s. London Ambulance Service were called to the scene. Life was pronounced extinct at the hotel.
'A post-mortem will be held in due course. Next of kin are in the process of being informed.'
A pre-recorded interview with Gest was broadcast on Grimsby-based radio station Compass FM, which covers North East Lincolnshire, this afternoon - just a few hours before his death was announced.
