UK popsters One Direction is already causing a little mayhem and they haven’t even hit our screens yet.
Yesterday Sunrise was forced to drop a photo of enthusiastic fans from its Facebook album and website, concerned it might encourage kids to sleep-out ahead of tomorrow’s appearance at Martin Place studios.
The photo depicted four young fans already sleeping out, ahead of the boyband’s upcoming appearance.
It led to some viewers questioning the publication of the photo:
@Sunrise to who ever is responsible, it’s really sloppy not to update the news ticker that runs under NBC Today show. Not the first time either. Im currently reading old news. Come on guys!
That’s it sunrise. Advertise get more kids to sleep out in the cold rain I hope you have security to protect them, think about it. Move them on
the homeless dudes will be thrilled to have young girls to talk to. its not school holidays in canberra so if our girls go up there and get on tv-BUSTED! bahaha
After that Justin Bieber frenzy, Sunrise is not taking any chances. On its website it says:
“We are aware that our interview with One Direction will attract many fans so we are preparing with extra security and this advice for parents: If your child is coming down to Brekky Central, we encourage you to join them to keep them safe. This will help us maintain calm and safety for all. Police will also be in attendance. Due to the expected number of fans, it will not be possible for fans to meet the members of 1D.”
After realising the photo was at odds with its own advice to kiddies, Sunrise removed the photo of the 4 fans.

I thought the bieber concert was great tv. Wouldn’t want anyone to get hurt. But I will be secretly hoping there is some kind of chaos.
@Craig: Boy bands come & go. Nothing is as bad as Bieber.
@JM. I hope they don’t get to Brekky Central at all. Imagine what Sunrise would get in to!
PS. Go Today !
Will be interesting to see how they get from the Today Show in Willoughby to Sunrise at Martin Place.
Maybe someone should be hiring a Helicopter
It’s like Bieber, just 5 times worse 😛
I’d expect there will be just as many people, (possibly more) than what Bieber drew to Martin Place in 2010. Hopefully, the people going to this heed the advice and bring their parents.
