After becoming the first contestant to be evicted from the house, Gary shared his thoughts on David on spin-off show Late & Live.
In his exit interview, host Will Best told Gary: "One thing that you did say when you were here before is David has another side to him where he puts people down."
"Yeah," Gary agreed.
"Having watched it back and having seen more since you left…" Will said, asking if Gary's views had changed.

The businessman replied: "Yeah, I might have been unfair with David. I think David is just being gregarious, fun and energetic.
"On the inside it felt like it had manifested itself as being 'it's all about me, it's all about me', but actually he's just a really nice bloke."
The audience cheered at Gary's realisation.
During his short stint, the 59-year-old served up plenty of controversial moments.

He left viewers raging after appearing to body shame David, who has lost three stone in recent years, on the first evening in the house.
In a chat in the bedroom, Gary told housemates "not to worry" about him as "I'm not the big lad in the room".

One fuming fan wrote on social media: "That comment Gary made about not being the big lad in the room.
"How many days will it take for him to use the word woke I wonder."
Another said: "'Don’t worry about me, I’m not the big lad in the room' pardon me Gary?"
But he himself faced criticism from X Factor legend Louis Walsh who hit out at the self-confessed 'bruncle' - bad uncle - with celebrity chef Levi Roots.
The chef said: "It's his first time on TV," to which Louis gave an absolutely roasting reply: "And his last."
After the public chose to boot Gary off the show, X Factor judge Louis, 71, made a not-so-surprising confession to his co-star.
He admitted: "I hammed it up deliberately.
"I was hamming it up, pretending I was shocked."
Levi then wanted to go further as he pondered why Gary acted the way that he did in the house.
But Louis thought he saw right through the personality as he confirmed: "He wants to be famous."
