ITV has dropped plans for a documentary about Liza Minnelli and husband David Gest after it was announced that the couple will be appearing with the BBC1's Ruby Wax. So TV, Graham Norton's production company (Norton is a close friend of the couple) proposed an hour-long special called 'Life with Liza and David'. But ITV sacked off the idea at the last minute when Minnelli and Gest agreed to appear on BBC1's 'When Ruby Met...' series.
Word is Wax has been filming the couple's visit to London to celebrate Gest's 50th birthday - including the party where guests included EastEnder Jessie Wallace and Liberty X.
As you will remember, the pair's Osbournes-style reality show for VH1 was dropped when the broadcaster claimed that Minnelli and hubby-to-be didn't give it the "co-operation promised", claiming that Gest had refused to go on unless he looked his best.
Gest and Minnelli proved a hit at the beginning of this year when they appeared on Channel 4's V Graham Norton, which was watched by 3.3 million viewers. A spokesman for So TV said: "It was one of a number of programmes in development. We have moved on to the next project."
