Grease Is The Word panellist Brian Friedman has admitted that he finds his fellow judge David Gest "crazy" and "hard to handle".

The American choreographer, who has worked with Beyonce, Britney Spears and Prince, has been left speechless by Gest's tales about his maid Vaginica Seaman, who is apparently named after her mother's favourite body part.

Friedman said: "David Gest is just crazy. I think something's the matter with him! I mean, he's got a great heart, he's a great guy, but he's all over the place.

"The stories that come out of his mouth - his maid Vaginica and all those things! It's gross! Everything that comes out of his mouth is just disgusting and vile. It's hard to handle."
