The insider said: "Gary said he’s been read the riot act by Kate’s mum Carole and her dad Michael.

"They aren’t happy he’s going into Celebrity Big Brother.

"It is infuriating for them. Kate doesn’t need this stress."

His appearance in the Celebrity Big Brother came after Princess Kate had undergone abdominal surgery at the London Clinic.
