How this fake celeb jagged a stint on reality TV
The Gold Coast is teeming with B-list and C-list celebrities, but one of the city's ‘normal guys’ has become famous on reality TV without even trying.
UK-born David Subritzky scored a big break on the latest season of I’m A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! as a fake celebrity — an unexpected pivot from his jobs in retail and events.
Hired as a stand-in on a previous season while camera crews tested filming, he cracked the producers up so much they begged him to come back — but with a twist.
In the current season, David poses as a fake celebrity shoe designer in the jungle. Only Poh Ling Yeow knows he isn’t the real deal but he must convince the rest of the camp that he is.

It was the funniest experience when I got offered the job. What normal person gets offered an opportunity to do I’m A Celebrity? I’m just a normal guy.
While's he's never acted before, he now considers himself a “method actor” or “full time liar” due to his ability to fool the celebrities in the jungle.

As for life after the jungle, he doesn’t think his new found fame will go to his head. “I think I will still just be me,” he said.
The eighth season of I’m a Celebrity has a diverse group of camp mates who swap their comfortable lives for a no-frills jungle experience including Beau Ryan, Emily Seebohm and Nathan Buckley. On Tuesdays  from 7.30pm on Channel 10.
