Music producer DAVID GEST shocked staff at a top London hotel when he demanded zebra milk be delivered to the suite he shared with his now-estranged wife LIZA MINNELLI.
Gest, who is currently starring in British reality TV show I'M A CELEBRITY...
GET ME OUT OF HERE!, was staying at the five-star Lanesborough when he shocked staff with his room service request.
Gest reportedly told staff to pay a visit to London Zoo when he was told the hotel only stocked cow, sheep, goat and soya milk - but butler SEAN DAVOREN came to the rescue.
Davoren says, "I'm not usually fazed by anything, but I have to confess my first thought was somebody was taking the mickey (having a joke).
"Luckily, I remembered a fellow who'd helped me before. Sure enough there was a shop at the top of Regent's Park where you could buy the stuff.
"It was £15 a pint, and the guest had a pint everyday."
