GEST BLAMES JACKSON FOR SURGERY REGRETS

The music producer, who divorced Liza Minnelli in 2003, had his first operation after the late King of Pop suggested it would enhance his looks.

The 56 year old admits he got carried away with surgery - and now desperately wishes he'd never listened to Jackson.

He says, "I had surgery when I was very young and it was the stupidest thing I've ever done. Michael Jackson kept saying, 'You should have plastic surgery.' I got my nose done and he said, 'Do more, do more!' It was stupid.

"If I had my way, I'd go back to my original big nose with a bit of a hook in it. It looked great."
