Shame as I loved him as a HM but it was best he went as he was barely even on the show the last while. I hope he's alright though

Real shame i liked him as a housemate he was good fun. I think i heard them say something about him suffering from pneumonia which is no joke for someone in their 60's

I asked the very question just last night, what is up with David? It seemed like he was quite ill. Im sad that he has gone as like everyone else he was one of my faves when we did see the poor guy. Get well soon David.

I hope he is feeling a lot better soon, best for him to be out that house if he is ill though. No matter how good a housemate he was in there his health is more important than staying in there for the sake of the show.
