VIDEO: These TV presenters in the Middle East had to recreate JOE’s O’Neill & Keane dance live on-air

They have the moves to pull it off in fairness.

As you may already know, JOE created a song for the Euros called ‘Ireland’s Euros’ Dream’ which has 3.6million views and counting on Facebook.

Kay Murray and Nicky Crosby are English presenters for beIN SPORTS MENA which is based in Doha, Qatar and is part of the biggest sports’ network in the world.

They ended up having to recreate the O’Neill and Keane dance from the music video after they lost a bet that Ireland wouldn’t make it out of the group.

Even better than the real thing?

Kay and Nicky present Euro Express on the network which is screened after the last match each day – they’re basically the Middle East’s version of Jacqui Hurley and Aidan Power..

The pair were tipped off about the video by beIN SPORTS Irish presenter Kevin Egan, who works on the network’s US channel.

Kevin told JOE that Euro Express also had a daily segment called ‘Shamwatch’ (we’ll allow it) where they’ve been showing Irish viral fan videos to the Middle East audience who were apparently lapping up the Boys In Green.
