- He's known as a snappy dresser, but Geoffrey Edelsten had a wardrobe malfunction on Thursday.
The 72-year-old Melbourne businessman was filming an episode of Celebrity Apprentice Australia in Sydney when he appeared to be hindered by a gargantuan gold necklace.
Pulling up in a black jeep the husband of Gabi Grecko cracked opened the door and unveiled his latest fashion move – the hitherto unseen gaudy statement piece.

A weight on your mind? The 72-year-old almost unveiled his latest fashion move – a hitherto unseen gargantuan gold chain
A pain in the neck! The statement piece seemed to be hindering Geoffrey's exit from the black jeep
Looking like he'd taken a trip to the costume shop, the statement dresser teamed the bold accessory with a three-piece red ensemble emblazoned with the word 'lifeguard'.
Embracing his lifesaving uniform Geoffrey looked like he might need a helping hand himself.
The necklace hung from his neck like a metallic shackle and appeared to have a knock-on effect, leaving him struggling to manoeuvre himself from the car.
While fellow contestant Tim Dormer chomped at the bit behind him, Geoffrey maintained a stately pace, shuffling across the seat.

Thumbs up! Geoffrey busied himself on the phone during film in Sydney, perhaps talking to his new wife
New piece: The twisted metallic piece appeared to be a new addition to Geoffrey's eclectic wardrobe
At one stage it looked like the bling might have got the better of him, as he threatened to topple forward - but he righted himself at last minute.
Using the leather car seat for momentum the former medical practitioner propelled himself into the busy street.
Forsaking practicalities for the allure of an accessory, Geoffrey's latest ensemble is just one of many questionable outfits he's donned during the filming sessions.
The eccentric star was joined on set by his co stars Big Brother's Tim, NRL player Matt Cooper and entertainment presenter Richard Reid, who are all competing on the reality show.

Hot steppers! Flamboyant personality Richard paled in comparison to snapper dresser Geoffrey
Even Tim's tongue pulling and outlandish antics weren't enough to upstage Geoffrey and his chain mail.
Noticeably absent from the film set was Geoffrey's wacky wife and partner in crime, Maxim model Gabi Grecko, 26.
Her spot was filled instead by reality TV show queen Gina Liano, of Real Housewives Of Melbourne fame.
The hairsprayed Italian dame showed off her glowing tan and long legs in a business-like powder pink suit as she strutted around armed with a clipboard.
Also doing it for the girls were Miss Universe Australia Tegan Martin and Mel Greig, who looked polished in a blue jumpsuit and a jeans and blazer combo, respectively.

Where's Gabi? The pocket rocket's wife was nowhere to be seen on set on Thursday

Less than 24 hours earlier Geoffrey and his flamboyant bride Gabi caused a stir on Sydney's streets dressed in clashing outfits.
Looking like tourists from a different country, the Melbourne-based pair fell out of a taxi; Geoffrey clutching a can of Coke and map of the city, while Gabi pointed excitedly at landmarks.
The eccentric personality and his wacky wife are just two of the cast set to star in the reality TV show.
Stylish in the city! Former Miss Universe Australia Tegan Martin and Royal Prank caller Mel Greig opted for more elegant apparel for the afternoon filming session
Royal Prank caller Mel Greig, actresses Sophie Monk and Esther Anderson will join Gabi, Gina, and Tegan on the girls' team.
Meanwhile, representing the guys are Matt, Tim, The Bachelor's Blake Garvey, presenter James Mathieson and Richard.
And it seems tension is already mounting with Gabi revealing to Daily Mail Australia the camaraderie is all for the cameras.
Tension mounting? Gabi told Daily Mail Australia that the female contestants aren't gelling, revealing she feels 'like an outcast'
'They are really nice on camera but they're not so nice off camera,' she said, adding: 'The girls aren't exactly my cup of tea'.
'A lot of the guys have been really nice but a lot of the girls have been really standoffish and haven't tried to talk to me,' she added.
She refused to elaborate too much about her time with her female counterparts because she has to continue working with them but insisted she feels 'like an outcast'.
