The Irish representative at the Eurovision Song Contest 2008, Dustin the Turkey, is in demand in Serbia ahead of his Eurovision bid, with internationally-renowned designer Jean Paul Gaultier even requesting to meet him.

The designer, who is a commentator with the French delegation, has made an official request to have his photograph taken with the turkey at the event.

Dustin said: "I'm delighted because Jean Paul has been trying to work with me for years and finally our schedules have crossed."

"But I'm also deeply concerned about how Donatella will take the news as she has also been pursuing me."

Dustin has also appeared on national television in Serbia this week, with last year's winner Maria Serifovic declaring that he is her favourite to win the competition.
