BACKSTAGE GOSSIP: Jedward Rabbits Story Covered in Irish Press (We told you first)

By elishbulgodley on May 17, 2012 • ( 2 Comments )

In case you didn’t know, we had covered a newsflash story on Jedward on May 16th about how they acquired 2 bunnies “Euro” and “Vision” and smuggled them into their hotel room during the Eurovision 2012 rehearsals in Baku. The twins were reported to have slipped away from their minders to buy the rabbits at a market in the old city so they could answer the age-old question, “can rabbits eat cucumber“.

Looks like the Irish press have picked up the story too.

The Irish Examiner Broadsheet covers this Eurovision story on Thursday, May 17, 2012 via Richie Taylor.

Here’s an Excerpt as written by Richie Taylor:

“The 20-year-old pair tweeted: “They are awesome and they love being in our hotel room. They’re so fluffy and lovely. We both love animals. Back home in our mum’s house in Lucan, Co Dublin, we have five dogs, a parrot and a cat called Armani. Now we have two rabbits.”.

RTE.ie the National Broadcaster’s Website also reports ” Jedward smuggle bunnies into hotel room “ on Thursday 17 May 2012.

The RTE Site shows the Jedward twitter pic of their new rabbits:

The Story also makes its way to the UK : Click here to see UK Pop Culture Blog Popledge post a video showing the Bunnies:

Here is an Excerpt from Popledge

“Jedward give the bunnies some water to drink followed by some food. They then wash the bunnies little feet and give them the Nesquik bunny to ‘look up to’ as they have Britney Spears posters on their hotel room walls!”
