X Factor creative director, Brian Friedman has slammed judges Dannii Minogue and Cheryl Cole for their treatment of Kandy Rain.

The female judges slammed the girl band for their provocative outfits, telling them they need to be more demure and move away from the stripper image.

Brian told Closer magazine: “I couldn’t believe what Cheryl and Dannii were saying. I wanted to say: ‘Stop hating.’ They had no right to say the band was styled wrong. It was hypocritical and unfair because they’ve both performed half-naked on stage themselves.”
