WILSON PICKETT - WILSON PICKETT SLATES DIANA ROSS

Soul survivor WILSON PICKETT has slammed DIANA ROSS's appearance - calling her the "ugliest woman" he knew.

In a documentary about R'n'B legends - ONLY THE STRONG SURVIVE - Pickett gave a harsh review of the CHAIN REACTION singer's looks.

Wilson says, "Diana Ross was the ugliest woman I ever knew. We used to travel in a station wagon and make her sit facing out the back looking at the traffic."

He adds, "Now she's one of the most beautiful women in the world."
