The Wanted Get Accused Of Kidnapping On Punk’d
Posted 4/19/2012


.
Odd Future’s Tyler, The Creator is the guest host on this week’s episode of Punk’d and for one of the pranks he got The Wanted’s Jay McGuiness to pull a fast one on his bandmates.

.
“The team at ‘Punk’d’ spoke to someone on our management team in the U.S. called Nano. … Nano knew that out of the group, I enjoyed pranking the lads a lot,” he told MTV News. “And so we worked with their team for a couple of weeks to come up with the idea [and] then on the day we filmed ‘Chelsea Lately,’ it all just slowly kicked off. It was just a brilliantly gruesome day. It was awesome.”
.
The idea he’s talking about was to frame the band as the masterminds behind the kidnapping of a little girl and they were even questioned by police at one point. “When you get accused of kidnapping, it’s the worst feeling in your life,” Tom Parker elaborated. “[I was thinking,] ‘I’m going to prison for the rest of my life in America.’”
.
So what do you think of this prank and do you predict that the rest of The Wanted will get back at McGuiness soon? Let us know in the comments section below as you listen to The Wanted Radio.
