He’s got a bad-ass attitude that would only shock your granny, he owns the streets of Castletown and he’s one of the faces of Hardy Bucks, the toughest gang in Mayo.
His tough guy façade may be tarnished now though, as it has been revealed that when he wasn’t cruising around Castletown “shmokin’, drinkin’ and fightin”, The Viper, or Francis Higgins to his mother, worked part-time as Jedward’s road manager.
The Viper was deleted from Twitter by the “Illuminati” for “upsetting a few people”.
He returned to social media in full lyrical force as he spilled the beans on his time as Jedward’s roadie. Did Louis Walsh not recognise the tough guy’s face in an interview?
Brace yourselves for some Jedward inside info… this is The Viper’s confession;
"What you don't know is, in my spare time, I roadie/PA, for Jedward. I lost my job there, and I'm ready to spill the beans. Every night's a session for those guys. They're nothing like they seem in the papers. Last Wednesday's gig was no exception. Within minutes of arriving at the venue at Leisurland, Galway, John gets papped snorting Class-A drugs - off a child's back. The photographer is dealt with by security. Fucker parts with his camera for ten large - a small price for a career in showbiz. Edward returns from the bookies, raging, he's heard the news. "We haven't even opened shop and the fuckin' till's down ten grand!" Things get out of control as John punches an escort in the jaw. I'm forced to quell the situation, away from the room. John comes over to shake my hand, after it's settled. I say to him "Listen mate, the fucker nearly had the shades involved. Wise up."Cunt looks at me, nonplussed. I told him, "You're out of fuckin order, mate. You and yer brother need to wind yer fuckin' necks in." John looks me in the eye and smiling coolly, says, "I'm. Fuckin. Ace.", prodding my chest with his index finger on each word. Next day I get told by management that I'm off the job. The rest is a whiskey fog. When I come out the other end, my tweets have gone."
Check The Viper out here for yourselves…
