It looks like I’m not the only one a bit freaked out by the weird and wonderful David Gest. It turns out that his co-judge, Brian Friedman, on ITV’s Grease Is The Word is a bit terrified himself.

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.”

This show should make interesting viewing if nothing else!
