MTV Host Cops Gun To The Face, Police Searching For Disgruntled Channel V Fan

An MTV VJ had an unpleasant beginning to the festive season, it would seem.

A Christmas catch-up at a Rushcutters Bay bar began with a shotgun in the face for MTV host Darren McMullen this week, after the prankster literally fell into a frightening armed robbery.

Meeting a friend for a drink about 11.30pm on Monday, The Lair presenter was confronted by balaclava-clad bandits making good their escape with a safe and the takings from a nearby massage parlour they had just robbed.

Yes, yes – not very nice, how shocking, etc.

But let’s experiment a little. By removing certain paragraphs and words – and adding nothing – let’s see if we can spice up this story a little, huh?

A Christmas catch-up at a Rushcutters Bay bar began with a shot in the face for MTV host Darren McMullen this week.

Meeting a friend for a drink about 11.30pm on Monday, The Lair presenter was confronted by bandits from a nearby massage parlour.

Having set on into one of the three masked men, “I was about to have a go until he shoved in my face and told me to get down,” McMullen said yesterday.

Stunned by the bizarre encounter, McMullen said he was all but laughing as he was forced onto his knees.

“The whole time I was thinking there were cameras rolling.”

McMullen discovered, “half-naked women and men in suits trying to pull themselves.”

And we’re spent.
