Norton criticises 'Grease' again
Any Dream Will Do host Graham Norton has taken another swipe at rival show Grease Is The Word.

The presenter claimed that the series is not taken seriously by viewers because its judges, including former pop star Sinitta and I'm A Celebrity contestant David Gest, do not have theatre experience.

"It's Simon Cowell's show but he's not on the panel. People would take it more seriously if he was," Graham told The Sun. "Our panel really know what they're talking about.

"What about Sinitta? That's the question the nation is asking. She’s finally got a job now so she can pay the rent. And she gets to wear weird clothes. I think they've been in a wardrobe since 1982 when she was last seen in public."

Norton added that he feels sorry for David Ian, as he believes that the theatre composer is the only member of Grease's judging panel taking the show seriously.

"Poor little David is the only one who believes there's going to be a show in the West End," he joked.
