Dustin the Turkey calls out Niall Horan and fans AGAIN ahead of The Den appearance

Dustin the Turkey has tried to reignite his feud with Niall Horan ahead of the singer's appearance on The Den next week.

A Niall Horan fan page went viral during the summer by blasting the famous puppet after he slagged Niall's appearance for Comic Relief.

The former One Direction star sent a clip of him singing to RTE to use as part of the charity show.

The programme saw Ray D'Arcy, Zig, Zag and Dustin the Turkey reunite for a special reunion sketch of The Den, which has since returned to TV.

They played the video of Horan singing from his London apartment, with Dustin joking towards the end of it: "We wanted Harry Styles. You're only getting a minute and a half."

But Niall fans across the pond didn't see the funny side, slamming Dustin's slagging of the singer as 'disrespectful'.

And trying to kick-off their hilarious feud yet again, Dustin once more told how he's only interested in Harry Styles.

Having a rant on the Brendan O'Connor Show, Dustin said: "He sings like me and he looks like me.

"Now the only thing I have in common with people from Mullingar is that I have webbed feet.

"After that, I will take legal action against Niall Horan, and if he comes on the show next week, which he is, which I don't know about, then I'll have to, I've said it before, I'm only interested in Harry Styles, I ain't interested in Niall Horan.

"But like there was a bit of controversy there and it was the number one trending thing in the world, it was the top five in Ireland, it was bonkers!

"But in fairness to Niall he was great craic with it. Let's see what happens next week because I'm not taking this laying down you know!"
