'She's Completely overdone and overdressed'

Designer David Emanuel is NOT a fan of Kim Kardarshian’s style

The I'm A Celeb star reveals his thoughts on Kim K as he prepares to host Say Yes To The Dress UK

DESIGNER David Emanuel is not afraid to admits he isn't a fan of reality star Kim Kardshian's style.

On the mother-of-two's head-turning dress sense, which usually shows off her curves and tiny waist, David, 63, told The Sun Online: "I thinks it's completely overdone.

"The whole thing is a production, and it doesn’t work for me, sorry."

Not mincing his words, David, who was chosen by the late Princess Diana to create her wedding dress with his ex-wife Elizabeth, went on: "I'm sure underneath all that make-up she’s probably a lovely looking girl, but it's too over made, it's too overdressed and I personally don’t don’t like her style."

David won over the UK public when he took part in I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here in 2013, narrowly missing out on the winner's crown to Westlife's Kian Egan.

He appeared on the show after battling prostate cancer, and explained: "It was one of the reasons I accepted the challenge of going into the jungle.

"It made me realise I had a second chance."

But can we expect to see David on another celebrity reality show in the future?

"Absolutely no," he said firmly. "One is quite enough."

But he did admit he previously could have been swayed into an appearance on Strictly Come Dancing.

"I like the idea that you learn a new dance each week. But I haven’t been asked and I’m certainly not doing it now.

"I think I'm a fabulous dancer, but whether the public think that...!"

He's now preparing to bring the UK version of Say Yes To The Dress to viewers and admits he can't wait.

"This is an enormous challenge," said David.

"It's a huge success in America and we would like it to be a huge success here. We want it to be fabulous."

Revealing his advice to brides set to be featured on the TLC series, David commented: "I treat every woman individually.

"So you’ve got to find the right dress for their personality, but you’ve also got to find the right dress for the occasion.

"By the time I’ve finished with them they will have confidence knowing that we’ve got the best dress for them."

Recalling the time he spent with Diana designing her dress, David said of the Princess: "She was just glorious and delicious, and fun.

"Everyone forgets she was great fun and one of the few people who truly lit up a room when she arrived - it was the glint of the blue eyes and her sweet smile."

He added: "We must remember she was fun. I know it's very sad obviously her passing but she had great energy."

Say Yes To The Dress UK airs on Friday 12 August, 9pm on TLC.
