A MAN went berserk after he turned up at a strip club - and discovered his girlfriend was the star attraction.

Martyn Daniel had no idea that Lauren MacKinlay was working as an exotic dancer.

And when he spotted her on the stage at Aberdeen's Bugsy Brown's strip bar last November, he lost the plot.

Daniel, 27, interrupted her while she was working, pushing her on the shoulder.

He then began to shout: "Do you want to give me a dance."

After he tried to grab Lauren, she called for the club manager and Daniel was led out by bouncers.

Lauren returned to her Aberdeen home to find graffiti scrawled over her house reading: "You f****** slag."

Daniel, from Newburgh, Aberdeenshire, admitted assault, breach of the peace and vandalism at Aberdeen Sheriff Court at an earlier hearing.

But his sentencing yesterday didn't go smoothly when he kept interrupting the sheriff - and was ordered to leave the court.

After Andrew Ormiston, prosecuting, had finished outlining the details of the case, sheriff Philip Mann began addressing Daniel.

But Daniel pointed to the fiscal, saying: "Can I just say something actually? A lot of that wasn't true."

Sheriff Mann continued: "I can understand you are upset but the fact is that no matter what you might have thought of your girlfriend's career...."

Daniel chimed in again, saying under his breath: "We are together."

The sheriff then said: "I don't think you are listening to me. You are beginning to irk me."

As Daniel tried to carry on talking, the sheriff said: "You are beginning to annoy me now. I will recall this case in half an hour."

When Daniel returned to the dock, Gregor Kelly, defending, said: "He wished to apologise for any impertinence he showed in the dock."

Sheriff Mann then told Daniel: "I accept your apology. I myself have now calmed down.

"Despite your demeanour in the dock earlier I will admonish you."
