Another shows the former footballer famously wore his hair longer, so much so that he fronted adverts for L'Oréal and Elvive nutri-vitamin shampoo. He previously revealed that he was contractually obliged to keep his hair long, telling The Sun: "I could never cut my hair below a certain length. I could never shave my head a la David Beckham. My first thought when he got a Brylcreem deal was that he must have swapped his contract for Brylcreem with Gillette."
David was known for having long hair
He added: "Sometimes I will be at an airport and a member of the public will come up to me and say: 'Look, it’s the guy from the shampoo advert' rather than: 'Look, it’s that footballer.'"

Viewers are loving the Frenchman in the show, with one writing: "Me whenever David Ginola speaks," with a gif reading: "He's an absolute dream!" Another added: "Err I’m watching #ImACelebrity just to listen to David Ginola’s sexy French accent. He’s gorgeous!!"
David played for Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle United
Even the campmates have opened up about David, with Franke Bridge chatting about David taking his shirt off for a challenge. She said: "So David decided to go topless, which for me was such a bizarre moment. I’ve not properly met him yet. I think Wayne will be quite pleased that there were bars in between David and I in our shower."
