Guess it can happen to anyone!
Former X Factor contestants John and Edward Grimes (aka Jedward), claim they were bullied and mocked by staff at the Heathrow airport.
The 19-year-old twins fly home to Dublin three times a week and claims that they are continually forced to undergo extra screening for the amusement of airport employees.
Their tour manager Liam McKenna filed an official complaint last week after he witnessed a member of staff making Edward to remove his pants and the leg brace he wears to protect his broken ankle.
A source said:
“They always pull the twins in just to pick on them and try to look big in front of their mates. Then last week, the same guy who usually taunts them pulled Edward in and was joined by three mates. There were four big oafs standing laughing at a 19-year-old.”
BAA, which operates the airport, apologized to the twins in an email. They admitted the “rude and unprofessional” behavior of staff, adding, “Nothing excuses the behavior.”
So true!
