Police were called to the set of The X Factor last night after “pranksters” invaded the stage.<\/p>\n
Honey G had finished her performance and was getting feedback from the judges when a man ran up behind her and tried to touch her.<\/p>\n
The group Trollstation say they were behind the stunt.<\/p>\n
“There was a stage invasion by four men, with one further person in support,” a spokesman for the show said not long after the incident.<\/p>\n
“All five had been in the audience.<\/p>\n
“They were spoken to by police and security and have now been removed from the studio.”<\/p>\n
As Louis Walsh was speaking to Honey G, a man wearing a baseball cap came onto the stage, grabbed her by the shoulders and tried to take her microphone.<\/p>\n
She had just performed her version of MC Hammer’s U Can’t Touch This.<\/p>\n
On Trollstation’s YouTube channel the group says it specialises in “bizarre and often surreal pranks performed on unwitting members of the public”.<\/p>\n
“Our content is intentionally provocative and controversial with the aim to get reactions from the general public in the name of comedic satire.<\/p>\n
“Trollstation is a collective of social misfits playing mad mind games on the public.”<\/p>\n
