Actually, I'm not sure why the Metro had to use such an extravagantly larky tone. Jedward nearly drowned! How amusing!

Glad they're safe. It must have been a terrible wait for their mother.

    There was me thinking this was delayed nomination news from 2011...


    To be honest, while it must have been scary for their mum, I can't see how you can report this seriously.

    • Someone lets Jedward out unattended.
    • Jedward walk into the sea.
    • Jedward call up their mum and say "Mam! We walked into the sea! AWESOME!".
    • Helicopters are scrambled (mostly to drown out the noise if Jedward start singing).

    Thank god they had the presence of mind to call....their mum.

    It is quite funny that while a hugely expensive helicopter couldn't find them, a bunch of rescuers just waded into the water. It doesn't read like a high octane scene from Hawaii Five O or Baywatch. :D

    In all seriousness though, the sea can be dangerously deceptive. I nearly drowned in waist high water that had a ridiculously strong undertow and huge waves. They were probably right not risk it.
