Fury as clown brings CROC to kids’ party
EVERYONE knows that clowns are utterly terrifying and that behind that bulbous red nose and make- up lurks a soul tortured by the blackest darkness.
But clown Terry Coco took terror to a whole new level when he turned up to a five- year- old’s birthday bash with a CROCODILE!
Needless to say, mayhem ensued with mums and tots screaming and crying and wetting themselves as Coco – real name Terry Watson – lurched in with the man- eating reptile.
Raining
Mum Carol Hoole, who organised the party for daughter Rihanna at home in Splint, Cumbria, said: “It was raining so we had the party in the garage – which is technically outside so within the lockdown rules – and then the clown turns up.
“I think he was drunk. He reached into his bag and I thought he was going to pull out a balloon or summat but no – a sodding crocodile.
“All the other mums thought the croc were my idea and they’ve all been posting ‘ KILL YOURSELF’ on Facebook. It’s dead embarrassing.”
Even more embarrassing was the arrival of the local police constable, who instead of arresting Coco for his crocodile antics, nicked 29- year- old Carol for “hosting an illegal gathering”.
Now out on police bail, divorced mum- of- four Carol said: “When I catch up with that bloody clown, I’ll tan his arse.”
Terry Watson, 37, was not indoors at his run- down house in Whitehaven when our reporter called yesterday. Neighbours said he was visiting relatives in Cleator Moor.
